Strategic Sourcing Guide to Internal/External Product Training Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Internal/External Product Training market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Development and Training market. Labor cost constitutes a key component of L&D providers' OPEX. Factors such as rise in the cost of living, increase in the local wage policies across geographies, and rise in wages and remuneration packages will propel service providers' OPEX and therefore use of automation and other tools will further increase to offset some of the rise in cost of operations.

Buyers that have multiple locations under management are increasingly opting for a single supplier who can deliver L&D services in a consistent manner across locations. Often global L&D suppliers are preferred in such cases.

Several important sectors of the global economy, such as BFSI, Healthcare and Manufacturing are facing serious shortage of adequately skilled workforce. Companies are trying to fill this gap by re-skilling their existing employees in new skills. Similarly, rapid penetration of new technologies across industries (e.g. big data, AI, blockchain, or even data analytics tools) is necessitating re-skilling of employees so that they understand and leverage these technologies to work more efficiently. These factors have improved the demand outlook for L&D services in developed economies and will soon impact the developing economies as well.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Internal/External Product Training procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Internal/External Product Training Procurement Best Practices

Internal/External Product Training procurement best practices are moving towards a level of sophistication which is typically seen in traditional procurement categories. Category managers now have an attractive opportunity to adapt the best practices seen within this category as well as those being leveraged in other non-related categories. This report summarizes the best practices picked from across multiple categories that could work well for category managers involved with Internal/External Product Training procurement strategy.

For example, Buyers need to adopt renegotiation strategies with existing service providers to receive better quotes and discounts. Negotiation can take place based on the supplier's previous performance, performance of employees after the completion of L&D program or technology adoption by suppliers.

Buyers must collaborate with service providers that offer mobile learning solutions, which help in accessing the training material from any location. This will aid employees from departments such as sales, which may not be able to attend all training sessions conducted onsite and achieving better ROI on L&D.

Buyers should prefer to partner with suppliers that have at least 3-5 references of their performance delivery. Buyers can also evaluate these suppliers by taking feedback from their peers in the industry on the flexibility, quality, and adaptability of the supplier.
