Overview

Every procurement leader knows the truth: public purchasing is nothing like corporate buying. You’re asked to balance limited staff, strict compliance, and growing public expectations—yet the tools you’re given were never designed for the realities of government work. The result? Manual fixes, patchwork processes, and a higher chance of costly mistakes under public scrutiny.
 

This webinar is a candid conversation about why “good enough” systems aren’t good enough when the stakes are this high. Together, we’ll examine:

  • The risks agencies face when relying on tools designed for private markets
  • How constant workarounds waste time, erode capacity, and weaken trust
  • Why more governments are moving toward solutions that are purpose-built for public responsibilities
     


What You'll Learn

After completing this online training session, learners will be able to:

  • Recognize the risks — Understand how corporate procurement tools create compliance gaps, increase error rates, and expose agencies to unnecessary public and audit risk.
  • Identify the cost of workarounds — See how manual fixes and patchwork processes drain capacity, slow procurement cycles, and weaken both staff efficiency and community trust.
  • Explore the alternative — Learn why agencies are shifting to purpose-built procurement approaches that align with public responsibilities, support equity, and strengthen accountability.
