Advanced commercial training for IT and Procurement staff
The commercial agreements which underpin your new and existing IT suppliers are critically important.
Beside their often ‘mission critical’ nature, they also can represent very high spend levels.
Equipping your staff with the latest IT negotiation and commercial skills is therefore of enormous value.
Turnstone’s commercial courses are new and unique. They are specific to IT spend, with all our trainers being CIPS qualified - the professional qualification for negotiation, tendering and contract writing (Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply). Our trainers are also active consultants on client projects, dealing with IT suppliers, tenders and contracts day in, day out.
Here’s what the Head of IS for Land Securities, Wendy Antaw had to say: "Turnstone ran a course for our IT managers, aimed at increasing their commercial and contractual skills. I am confident my team is now more commercially skilled. The course was lively with a good blend of theory and practical examples. I fully expect the investment to more than pay off over the year - a small improvement in our approach to our IT vendors realises large improvements."
Each course is one day long and easy to fit into the working diary.
