Bring on students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students in this program will examine the strategic importance of procurement on the competitive success and profitability of a modern organization. They will use spend analytics to determine the cost of ownership, manage supplier relationships, and determine the cost of maintaining these relationships. Students will develop approaches to analyze an organization's contract management and category management strategies.

Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the students and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
