"What an amazing course! After finishing this course, I have confidence. Thank so much Dr Peter Alkema" ... "This is exactly the jump-start I needed. Very clear and concise"
I lead Digital Transformation & Architecture at ABB and I've been featured on CNBC Africa and won the Gartner CIO Of The Year in 2016. I founded and led the largest banking hackathon in South Africa which was published in 2019 as a case study by Harvard Business School.
I've taught over 100,000 students about technology, business, academics and self-development. In 2020 I completed my PhD at Wits University In Johannesburg. The study introduced a ground-breaking theory of Agile software development teams. My woodworking book was published in 2014 and has sold over 10,000 copies.

I have just completed the Procurement Masterclass & ChatGPT PLUS Productivity & Teams courses. My experience was very positive and beneficial. These courses helped me understand more effective procurement concepts and how to use technology like ChatGPT to improve productivity and efficiency at work. I also learned about the importance of effective communication and how to manage time better. I am very satisfied with the course materials, which were presented clearly and in an easy-to-understand manner. Additionally, I had the opportunity to interact with instructors and other participants, which was very helpful in broadening my knowledge and perspective. After completing the courses, I feel more confident in applying my new skills at work and in daily life. I also plan to share my knowledge with my colleagues and continue enhancing my skills through further training and development.

I’m finding this course incredibly valuable, not only for understanding procurement processes but also for gaining insights into broader industry shifts, particularly in the hydrogen sector. The course provides a well-balanced mix of theoretical knowledge and practical applications, making it highly relevant for professionals looking to stay ahead in procurement and energy transition trends. The inclusion of real-world examples and discussions on emerging technologies adds significant depth. Highly recommend it for those interested in both procurement best practices and evolving industry dynamics.

looks like it is a course if you are producer/distributor of some goods. i need a course where you are representing investors company and you need to provide design services, consultancy services, engineering services, equipment supplies, equipment installation. I will have a look at the next chapters and I will see if I can get whatever I need.

While I like this class, the presenter doesn't cover the fact that he is mostly discussing an indirect procurement process. The direct procurement process, in some key ways, is different than indirect and that is not covered in this class.

Burn your boat is not reflective of democratic leadership. It can be a disaster in a team environment where there is strong disagreement or where the decision maker did not have capability to estimate in first place. Plan B is definitely needed in large organizations to drive contingency planning, especially where failure comes at a heavy cost.
By Cynthia Karina Gonzalez on 2/24/2023
The P-2-P course is great! no illustrations were shown but I managed to imagine the process while the professor explained the process, very detailed on each step and process! I give this rate because I think this course should explain P-2-P process only and not put together the "time management" and "team motivation" courses together. Also, the volume was low it was hard to me to understand using earphones.
By Neeraj H Jahagirdar on 8/5/2022
I am glad that I attended this course. I don't think so the complete P2P can be explained in any other simpler terms than these. Worth every second I spent on this course.
By Anonymized User on 7/21/2022
An Excellent journey through a tough subject in a very simple manner. Presentation and explanations were very good and to the point. Would like to appreciate the trainer and method of explaining! This is really going to help me in my PTP skill area. Thank you
By Suraj Garnaik on 3/13/2022
This course was very well-designed and crisp to the point. The course covered all the aspects related to the P2P process and we could apply the theoretical learning to the real-life business problem
By Anonymized User on 2/8/2022
For someone who is new to procurement, this was a very easily explained course that breaks down the process into bite-sized pieces for immediate understanding. I am not involved in procurement, but I work in the procurement office, so I wanted to learn what the buyers do. Now, I have a better understanding. Thank you!
