Case Study: Laing O’Rourke upskills procurement team with Action Sustainability

Laing O’Rourke Upskills Procurement Team through Supply Chain Improvement Programme

Laing O'Rourke sought to upskill its procurement team, which included project procurement managers and category managers with varying levels of expertise. To address this challenge, they engaged Action Sustainability to utilize its procurement learning journey of workshops.

Action Sustainability began by having participants complete a self-assessment across 14 procurement skill areas. Based on the results, they delivered tailored workshops on topics including Introduction to Procurement and Supplier Relationship Management. The outcome was an upskilled team that could better apply professional best practices, contract knowledge, and supplier management techniques to their roles. Action Sustainability's solution provided a forum for learning that enriched the participants' day-to-day work with real-life project examples.
