Advanced Oil and Gas Procurement Strategy Training Course

Overview

Advanced Oil and Gas Procurement Strategy Training Course is a one-week course for procurement, supply chain, contracts, and category professionals who leave with an Oil and Gas Procurement Strategy and Supplier Performance Pack. Participants connect spend evidence, supply markets, category choices, sourcing routes, supplier evaluation, negotiation, commercial interfaces, risk, and performance. The course turns procurement data into traceable decisions for equipment, services, and operating requirements. Agile Leaders Training Center presents this course on advanced oil and gas procurement strategy.

Who Should Attend

• Functions responsible for procurement strategy and category decisions
