FOR WHO

The training is aimed at the public sector where participation takes place teams of 2-5 people. Since cooperation is a key to success, your teams are cross-functionally composed and consist of several professions. At least one person should represent operations/administration and purchasing/procurement respectively, for example:

– Grouping consisting of purchasers, business representatives and support functions that work with existing needs, procurement, or development projects. The training can be applied directly to ongoing work and current issues.

- Grouping around a single board/administration/function that faces significant development needs regarding working methods linked to needs identification and the purchasing process. The training provides a common approach and concrete working methods to get ahead in the work. The team's participants need to cover different perspectives, professions and roles as above.

- A management team consisting of people responsible from procurement, operations, and support functions such as e.g. finance and IT who want to deepen the discussions around the overall strategic development. The training provides a common approach and space to set frameworks and guidelines for how work should be conducted in the organization.
