Are you finding it difficult to communicate the fundamental principles of public procurement to a wide range of stakeholders in your jurisdiction, including new hires, user departments, and elected officials? You are not alone!
The Procurement Excellence Network held a training that taught attendees how to break down complex procurement topics into relatable, digestible content for audiences new to procurement. Through real-world case studies on engaging political stakeholders, upskilling new hires, and empowering user department, our participants learned how peer jurisdictions have successfully demystified public procurement through Procurement 101 trainings, leading to greater understanding, collaboration, and trust among all stakeholders.
Attendees left this session with actionable takeaways, including a sample one-hour procurement 101 training agenda, and best practices for building stakeholder buy-in. If you want to sharpen your communication skills and help stakeholders to see procurement not just as a compliance function but as a driver of strategic impact in your jurisdiction, we encourage you to review the session slides.
