Identifying and Managing Procurement Risks – Public and Private Sector

Workshop Dates: July 23, 24 from 9AM – 12:30PM EST.

As a response to the COVID -19, we are conducting this professional development session online . We are fully cognizant of the difficult decisions you are making everyday, as supply chain professionals driving the Canadian economy during this extraordinary time. We applaud your commitment to continued education. 


Managing Procurement Risks

Workshop Overview: 

Procurement risks are ever increasing considering the high value, increased size, scope and volume of procurements, complexity, stringent policies, rules, regulations and trade agreements. This workshop is developed to identify potential risks and provide practical tools and strategies to mitigate those risks. 

This workshop is critical now more than ever as it is designed to address all facets of procurement risk and provides advice to identify, access, avoid, transfer and mitigate  the supply chain challenges/risks in crisis times (e.g. Global Pandemic). How an outbreak of deadly disease happening at other part of the world would impact your supply chain and how you can protect your supply chain and address supply shortages and access to critical products and services. 

Professionals involved in Supply Chain Activities make decisions and inherit a variety of risks while executing procurement projects involving a large amount of dollars. Are you aware of those risks and should you be taking those risks? And how to provide value added services to your organization by effectively mitigating procurement risks.  Procurement professionals that understand risks, consequences and mitigation strategies are the leaders for supply chain.  Procurement professionals are tasked to achieve cost-savings and conduct an open, fair and transparent procurement process. Do you realize that systematic identification and risk mitigation strategies significantly increases your chances of achieving those cost savings targets and meeting the fairness obligations?

This workshop will show you how to achieve those targets and provide you with comprehensive understanding of different types of risks at each stage of the procurement process. It will provide you with risk mitigation strategies, case studies, checklists and best practices.

Target Audience:

This workshop is designed for wide-range of professionals involved in Supply Chain Activities (procuring goods, services, construction, consulting) within the private sector and public sector organizations (Municipal, Provincial and Federal government, Universities, Hospitals, School boards, Colleges and other government agencies) where they are directly or indirectly involved in procurement activities and influencing the procurement outcome.

The professionals including Project Managers, Evaluation Team members, Logistics professionals, Category Specialist, Procurement Analyst, Procurement Managers, Business Analysts, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Contract Managers, HR, IT, and Finance Professionals would greatly benefit  and gain confidence from this workshop where they would understand the procurement risks and gain knowledge around the best practices for managing those risks to improve the overall bottom line of their organization.
