"I don't lecture from a textbook. I bring my classes to life with the categories I've managed, the deals I've negotiated, and the transformations I've led - so your team leaves with something they can actually use."

Alex - The ProcureMentor

Procurement fundamentals, taught the way your team will actually use them.

Two flagship modules covering the work that creates the most value in procurement: category strategy and strategic sourcing. Delivered in-house, interactive, and built around your team's categories and stakes.

Module 01
- Category management

How to manage a category: setting up the strategy and unlocking value

From spend cube to action plan. We turn a category into a strategy that moves numbers, with the levers, governance and stakeholder rhythm that make it stick.

  • Category diagnosis: spend, supply market, demand drivers
  • Strategy canvas: levers, prioritization, business case
  • Stakeholder map and governance to drive execution
  • From plan to value capture - and how to defend the savings
● In-house workshop● 1–2 days● Team format
Module 02
- Strategic sourcing

How to manage a strategic sourcing event: from the idea to the transformation

Run a sourcing event that doesn't just close - it changes how a category operates. The full arc: framing the opportunity, designing the event, negotiating, and landing the change.

  • From idea to RFx design: scoping the event for impact
  • Building a fact-based negotiation strategy
  • Running the event: rounds, mechanics, decision-making
  • Award, transition, and turning the event into transformation
● In-house workshop● 1–2 days● Team format
The approach

I bring the frame. We customize it for you.

Every program starts from a battle-tested framework - then we shape it around your team's categories, maturity, and the outcomes you're chasing this year. No generic decks, no theoretical case studies.

AI training, built by a procurement practitioner - for procurement teams.
