As a procurement professional, your job is more than sourcing suppliers. You're tasked with ensuring supply continuity — even evaluating the networks behind the supplier — in order to mitigate hidden risks. A business or individual that was squeaky clean when first vetted needs to be continuously monitored to reveal any adverse changes that can occur over time and create negative ramifications for your company.

You will learn:

• Researching and vetting potential suppliers to ensure you are not taking on financial, business legal, or reputation risk
• Staying up-to-date on key developments in the news with respect to your suppliers
• Recertifying supply risk profiles on a periodic basis
• And more

Also, real-life Reed Elsevier case studies that demonstrate how best practices were implemented and their results.
