Vendor Management Training Classes

Without question, vendors and contractors are important members of project teams and our Vendor Management training classes offer students an understanding of how to better manger them. In fact, project success is quite often tied directly to the timely production of their deliverables/solutions. Yet, one of the greatest risks to any project is the introduction of vendors and contractors. Managing these important resources is critical. This Vendor Management training class provides the tools and techniques necessary to assist students in selecting, contracting and controlling their vendors and contractors.

Vendor Management Training Classes:

• Effective Vendor Management
• Getting the Right Vendor Evaluation Team
• Key Components of Vendor Contract Close Out

 

To your internal and external stakeholders, vendors are an extension of the project team and must be managed well. The savvy project manager needs to be prepared to effectively manage all aspects of vendor relationships, from selecting the right vendor, to getting the right results, which is what our instructor-led Vendor Management training aims to teach students.

What many companies enjoy about our onsite training class is that we will send over subject matter experts to your company's site to train your employees. Instead of having to send them out to separate training classes, our instructor-led Vendor Management training program teaches them all at once. These subject matter experts that teach our Vendor Management training classes have years of experience and will pass down all that they know in a special curriculum they have created for our class.

The Vendor Management training class curriculum covers key considerations and pitfalls to avoid at all stages of the process, with an emphasis on building solid ongoing relationships with selected vendors. Developing a vendor management plan, identifying performance measurements, and understanding the impact of the various contract types are key aspects of this course. Participants will analyze a master service agreement and work through case studies profiling vendor management issues. Students learn from in-depth discussions, demos, presentations and more in our Vendor Management training classes, as well as hands-on training labs that provide them with real-world experience and a way to test out their newfound knowledge. Having your staff knowledgeable will improve the success of your company and our classes will help teach them important skills.
