At some point, “running good courses” is no longer enough: your organization expects you to drive categories, structurally reduce costs, and get suppliers to perform. That tactical-strategic level is exactly where the Green Belt takes you.
The common thread is not a fictional case study but your own purchasing category. At the end, there is a strategic category plan that you present to your management; the assessment is immediately your business case.
(Senior) buyers, purchasing advisors and upcoming category managers with three to eight years of experience who want to make the transition from execution to strategic management. Public and private.
Prerequisites: Purchasing Yellow Belt or equivalent basic qualification (a basic training in purchasing, or demonstrable several years of independent purchasing experience). If you are unsure, take the free level check.
Each module is taught by the consultant who works with Supply Value the most: category management by consultants who write category plans, negotiation by the people who do it for clients [verified: final trainer staffing]. The assessment panel consists of senior consultants and a board member.
Yes, the Green Belt covers the tactical-strategic content of the well-known advanced training course, from category management to advanced negotiation. In seven days instead of a one-year course, with a real category plan as the end result instead of just an exam.
Probably so. We test your entry level with a short level check (free of charge). This prevents you from investing seven days in a course that is too light or just too heavy for you.
60 minutes of intake + 5 working days of analysis + feedback. Free of charge and without obligation.
