Overview

Cost analysis provides key insights for procurement professionals in negotiation on individual contracts, and for better prioritizing across the whole contract portfolio.
 
But how do organizations build the case for why to spend time on it, what are examples of how it is used, and what are the first steps to putting it into practice?
 
Rick Gay and Dustin Lanier will lead an interactive discussion about how this practice is employed in procurement today and provide a discussion about how to practically begin.


What You'll Learn

After completing this online training session, learners will be able to:
 
1. Describe what a cost analysis is and why it is valuable in decision making and measuring performance
2. Identify and pull together relevant data for cost analysis
3. Implement the concepts through an initial exercise
