Webinar Overview:
The Government of Canada Procurement Competency Profiles have been updated to include 5 new technical competencies: Business Acumen; Data Analytics; Negotiations; Project Management and Risk Management. Take charge of your procurement career by attending this learning event.
Risk management principles are applied to all stages of the procurement process, where we assess and control threats that affect the results. The result is making evidence-based decisions when assuming, avoiding, transferring, mitigating sharing and compensating elements of risk.
Please join Al Garlinski, as he shares part 2 of his story on the difficulty of finding fitness equipment for his home gym during the COVID-19 situation and how it led to a valuable lesson learned about the importance of risk management awareness that can be applied to procurement in the workplace. With this newfound awareness, the procurement professional should be able to:
- Think creatively, strategize, and synthesize information.
- Collaborate and partner
- Be proactive and offer innovative solutions
