Vendor Managers must get the best from service providers, manage
relationships, integrate delivered services with company operations,
plus monitor costs and risk, ensure compliance, and often select and
bring vendors on board.

We help clients train and guide vendor managers select, engage and
manage outsourced vendors. We can also work individually with
vendor managers, and are in process of creating additional learning
modules online for individual access. Where possible, we use current
work scenarios and apply principles and models to create and deliver
real solutions, as a core part of the learning process.
