Today, the final day of the conference, procurement specialists from major airlines around the world equipped themselves for the challenge by attending workshops run by the UK-based Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) designed to sharpen up their purchasing skills.
The workshops, taking place in the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, focused on the expertise needed by modern purchasing professionals including how to negotiate effectively with suppliers, identifying and minimizing potential risks within the supply chain and aligning the procurement strategy with the overall business strategy. Delegates were also given an insight into how business negotiations tend to be run in the Middle East compared with other parts of the world.
