3.1. In-course Exercises Build Retention Through Engagement &
Participation in Learning.
3.2. End of Courses Assessment for Each Competence (10 to 20
Questions)
It is a best practice to use quizzes and exercises as by engaging the learners (two ways
learning) their retention will be much higher as compared to passive learning (one way
learning – narration only).

Editor's Notes
Questions to answer during the presentation:
What can you do for us? How does this apply to us?
This was asked by CEO of MNRB Mohd Din Merican, by stating that they don’t buy much since they’re a financial institution – insurance.
To illustrated this need to tell more stories that will possibly make them related to it.
2. Is your service similar to other companies that offer process improvement?
No, as we’re focused on procurement. What happens is that you may hire a big 5 company. They’ll do the gap analysis and then offer what you need to do. We’re different in 2 things:
Solely focused on procurement – you’ll get a much more detailed and specialiased analysis
We tell not only what to do, but also teach you and your people how to do it – knowledge transfer. Example, Al-Hassan group in Oman hired us for a 4 days project focusing only on Strategic Sourcing, since that was one of the areas that their consultant told they need to improve. And they said after the 4 days that they could have save USD 1.2 Million for one of their projects which was part of what we reviewed during the 4 days.
3. How Can we Open the Wounds More?
This simply means to offer more info that will open up their problems. Right Now I’m not seeing that my presentation opens up any wound – unless they feel some pain they will not buy. The key here is to make them envision that what might go wrong will go wrong in their organisation – certainly the best approach is to bring/mention something that they already did wrong OR
DURING THE PRESENTATION ASK A RHETORICAL QUESTIONS – WHAT ARE 2 things you are doing well? And
What are 2 things that you can improve in procurement? What would happen if those 2 things remain the same?
Can possibly put them in 1 slide under the heading “WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?’” – EXPLAIN THAT THEY CAN BETTER ANSWER THAT QUESTION BY SIMPLY ANALYSING THE FOLLOWING 3 QUESTIONS
Then explain that some potential answers are:
WHAT ARE 2 things you are doing well?
(Focusing on Cost Reduction, state that this is something they need to capitalise and use more eg great relations with key suppliers, systems in place, software in place, support from CEO,
2. What are 2 things that you can improve in procurement?
(having better people hire or train, better suppliers (qualify and hire), no contract delays, suppliers do what they promised to do – imagine what your day be like if suppliers did ALL they promised to do, no contract changes, suppliers deliver on time and with quality, end users can be more co-operative, have proper cost savings and cost avoidance definitions, simple cost savings reports
3. What would happen if those 2 things remain the same? (e.g.
Extreme, I’ll get fired from my job, headache, backache, boss/shareholders/board of directors stress, no promotion, frustrated
Find out from newspapers and online research what are the latest development for companies in the past 3 months and change the presentation to include those things eg if we were pitching SOCSO in 2011 we would show how to help them in their IT Contracts.
Tell stories that show some painful situation that was solved from us or any of our senior consultants
- Tell the story of 2 sisters cheating department of defence in US due to a computer glitch – charges for courier up to USD 1 Million
What we are going to show today is something unique because we’ve combined all the steps that supply chain and procurement executives need in building their skills and competences. This results in an approach that is comprehensive and builds each person skills based on his job role – what he does on a day to day basis.
Due to the fact that we’re a boutique organisation focused solely on building procurement competences you get all these at the lowest total cost of ownership. I will fully show this later – however I need to mention that what you will get will cost you less than what you would invest for one public training program that you attend for 4 or 5 days. Usually these are priced at 4 or 5 thousand USD, but with us you’ll pay less than that and then you get the full package including all high impact e-learning, simulations, exercises, application based tasks, we build competence maps for each job role including the class trainings as well. So you get more at a lesser investment – that’s why I said lowest Total Cost of Ownership.
Before I move to the 3 reasons Why Academy as per PPC approach I’d like to quickly mention that at the end I would ask you if the approach we take is beneficial for you. All I would ask is a sincere No or Yes, so that we can take this further – this would not involve any cost on your side.
So gentleman can I get your agreement that you give an indication either yes or no at the end, without costs involved?
Academic certification: knowledge gathering – reading books – watching a video’s /fact&figures.
We are Cont development, trainings = practice oriented.
In future you will see more procurement associations adopting the principle of CEH.
Academic Certifications are great if you’re a Coach of the team and need to see the bigger picture, but imagine if we were to certify a soccer team – Goalkeeper skills are very different from strikers/forwards.
Academic Certifications are great if you’re a Coach of the team and need to see the bigger picture, but imagine if we were to certify a soccer team – Goalkeeper skills are very different from strikers/forwards.
QUESTION – I’d like to ask a question related to building team skills. Currently, How do you build your procurement team skills?
Customized & Individual Development Learning Plan
Just send for Public trainings
In-House
or a mixture?
HOW MANY TRAINING SESSIONS DID EACH EXECUTIVE ATTEND LAST YEAR?
After the Q & A end up with the following:
Our Team has a solid track record helping companies build their teams skills to world class standards companies like ......add names here .... the risk of forgetting curves resulting from single shot class trainings and the risk of skills and knowledge obtained going to waste without being applied. As I will soon show we’ve devised a 7 steps methodology to making learning stick ... However let me describe first the 7 steps to building a Practical Procurement Academy.

IMPACT POINTS
When you implement this approach for your own Academy, you’ll find that it will impact your not only your team, but also Finance (budget wise) and possibly training, since they are the ‘custodians’ of everything that relates to people development. What we don’t know yet is how far they are involved in influencing the decision for this and which part?
To what extent do you feel training or finance or both should be part of this discussion OR is it the prerogative of procurement to solely decide on this?

1. May I ask about your own experience and approaches – what other approaches you’ve seen or believe are good to use?
2. If you had unlimited resources to do this right, what capabilities or solutions would be on your shopping list? Why?
3. Out of the things you might need, what are 2 or 3 must haves that are a priority for you. Why/What makes you say that?

3. Out of the things you might need, what are 2 or 3 must haves that are a priority for you. Why/What makes you say that?
From what I understand is that you’re keen on this and want to find out more how you can implement it, correct?
Ok great. What I’m about to share with you is a ‘foolproof’ way for you to test the whole approach so that you know what you’ll get before hand.
This is very important to us and to our clients because what we found is that there are mainly 2 reasons or problems why prospects do not become clients:
First is their lack of understanding of how this is going to look like once implemented – this was mainly our problem because we needed to make clear our offering and how the end product looks like.
Second is the commitment that our clients need to carry this out.
And we’ve cracked both problems … by providing … a FREE PILOT PROJECT.
Explain that the Wright Brothers got their patents in 1903 but could not yet fly. And only 5 years later in 1908 they managed to fly.
I’d like to do what Wright brothers did in 1908. We’ve explained the whole approach but no matter how much I explain no one will be able to grasp how it is going to work for them/you, unless we show you. And that’s what I want to do – Show You how this will work for you and you will EXPERIENCE the whole approach as if are already a paid client.
First nominate 1 to 3 people from your team – ideally 3 Heads of different sections eg Contracts/Supplier Relations, Category Management, Cost Management.
What sections you have there under procurement?
Based on these we’ll design your competence maps for each job role and your personal learning plan. But we don’t stop there. We’ll then have a meeting together – the same meeting with set up with our clients after they confirm, where we walk you through the 8 steps of implementation, as if you already confirmed this. This will show how these maps and learning plan come together with assessments and certifications.
And then we’ll grant access to you as if you already were a client for an online assessment and samples
All in all you will know everything you need to know about how this work and what you will get, so that when you confirm there are no doubts or questions or clarifications. All will be crystal clear – does this makes sense?
Excellent – let’s agree to the kick off meeting then …

Less than 20 people – 1 to 2 people

Based on what I’ve already mentioned for the PILOT do you think this will give sufficient information for you to make a decision?
If yes, great.
If NO, WHY NOT? What else do you need to make a decision on this?
