Avoid reinventing sourcing playbooks for every audit or region.

The situation this course is for

Most sourcing leaders rebuild vendor due diligence from scratch each cycle, losing time, diluting quality, and missing the chance to build organizational memory.

Who this is for

Senior IT sourcing leaders in global financial institutions who own regional rollout consistency and vendor risk governance.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused only on tactical procurement, or compliance analysts without vendor decision rights.

What you walk away with

  • Build a living library of reusable, Basel III-aligned vendor assessment templates
  • Reduce time-to-signoff on vendor engagements by standardising evidence flows
  • Structure cross-regional sourcing decisions so they compound in credibility and reuse
  • Produce vendor risk narratives that stand up in regulator-facing reviews
  • Turn each sourcing cycle into an asset that strengthens the next
