Procurement Business Alignment

In this training you learn to structure the business goals of your stakeholders and to realize added value for your stakeholders in the field of procurement in a structured manner.

The biggest problem of an procurement department is not the external world but the internal world. Connecting and maintaining relationships with your own stakeholders is what this training is all about. You will receive clear guidance for all kinds of stakeholder situations. The training is given by our experienced trainer and advisor Fred van Dijk.

Services FAQ

Questions about our services.

Consulting is advice and implementation together with your team; interim management is an experienced professional who temporarily takes on the role; outsourcing is a whole process that Supply Value implements for you on a structural basis, with fixed agreements. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, in a free and no-obligation 30-minute consultation we’ll look at what would best suit you.

After an initial meeting, we together determine the form that best suits your needs: advice, interim management, or outsourcing. Our consultants align themselves with your team and work alongside you, not above you or around you. As soon as the assignment is completed, we always leave something better behind than we found.

Supply Value works with both the public sector (healthcare, government, mobility & logistics) and the private sector (retail, manufacturing/high-tech, energy), with specific expertise in procurement, supply chain & operations, digital transformation, change management, performance management and sustainability. Clients such as NS, ProRail, Alliander and the municipality of Amsterdam have already chosen you.

At Supply Value, you always speak directly with the consultant who is doing the work, not with an account manager or a junior staff member in between. Those short lines mean quick decisions, no delays due to internal coordination, and a personal point of contact throughout the entire process. This keeps the focus on your question rather than on internal processes.

Are you unsure between advisory services, interim management or outsourcing? In a short and no-obligation conversation, we look at your problem, the urgency and the desired result together, and advise on the best form to suit. There is no obligation; the goal is for you to then know which route is the logical one.
