Embracing Agility in Public Sector Procurement
Wednesday, 20 September – Thursday, 21 September 2023 | 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM AEST | Online
Training Overview
Strategies and techniques to embed responsiveness and drive innovation
Governments have been moving toward more agile sourcing and procurement processes in recent years. This has been driven by a growing need to acquire supplies and technology quickly and efficiently.
The inherent flexibilities of agile procurement processes also enable agencies to tap into innovative solutions. As Australia focuses on becoming one the top 5 digital governments in the world, the need for procurement to be responsive, flexible and agile is more important than ever.
This program intends to provide public sector professionals with the skills and knowledge to navigate and implement agile procurement processes. Through interactive sessions and real-world examples, participants will gain a solid understanding of the agile procurement framework, its benefits, and how to apply it effectively in the public sector.
Agile procurement addresses multiple challenges public sector organisations face, such as Lengthy Procurement Cycles, Inflexible Contractual Arrangements, Agile Risk Management, stakeholder collaboration, and performance monitoring.
