Training

The above vlog is from a walking meeting as part of a workshop in Warsaw. 

Workshops, coaching and facilitated sessions are available to help individuals, procurement or organisations to step out of their comfort zones and into where the magic happens, and can cover topics such as: 

• Soft skills
• Innovation and creativity
• Buyer/supplier relationships 
• Influencing  
• Stakeholder engagement 
• And more conventional category management and supplier management

A conventional format for workshops can be arranged even if unconventional tools are used to support specific agenda items. For example the vlog above was from a walking meeting as part of category management and supplier management workshops in Warsaw.

However workshops can take place in more unconventional settings such as:

• Museums
• On a boat
• In parks and gardens (with access to a meeting room for summary, and when weather dictates we head indoors)
• On trains and at train stations 
• On the shop floor (whatever that looks like for your organisation)
• At a supplier's premises
• And so on

Location, agenda, format, and types of conventional and unconventional tools used will be aligned with organisational requirements, and developed to suit the time available, location, agreed objectives and individuals involved (whether procurement, stakeholders or suppliers). 

Please do ask for further details about any of the above, or any other topics related to supporting individuals to step out of their comfort zones. If you're unsure about the return on investment you may want to read my post The 7 Barriers to Optimal Performance.
