Procurement Transformation and Target Operating Model Design
As African organisations grow, many find their procurement function stuck in a transactional, fragmented state that cannot support strategic ambitions. This course guides procurement leaders through diagnosing maturity, designing a target operating model, and sequencing a realistic transformation roadmap.
