Engaging and easy to understand. One note: The question regarding 1 supplier should clarify whether you are referring to a single source or sole source supplier.

By Sahana C on 7/12/2025

Overall, it was a good experience. As a new professional, I found the documentation very helpful in understanding the concepts better. I hope more detailed documentation will be added in the future.

By Mark Gy Laurente on 1/29/2025

I learned a lot about procurement, the processes involved in making sure that all forms of risk are mitigated within acceptable levels, and by establishing a business continuity plan to ensure business resilience.

By Inna Politiuk on 9/12/2024

The most basic information, practically without specific examples and without materials. The presentation of the material - in my personal feelings - is a video for an election campaign. Everything considered in the course is superficial, without specific recommendations.

By Rick Fleming on 7/26/2024

This was an outstanding course, very well presented by Martin! As a BCM professional having worked significantly with the Global Procurement Team at my most recent organization, I really appreciate the content that Martin provided in this course. Thank you Martin and Udemy!

By Sara Odorisio on 1/29/2024

Thank you for this great course Martin. You have the fantastic ability to explain complex concepts in an easy and interactive way. Recommended to anyone wanting to learn how to manage suppliers risks.

By Donal Fitzgibbon on 1/16/2024

Very clear, well structured training - a natural. Martin is evidently very experienced, and his approach / tools will certainly help me in managing sometimes complex, and critical supplier relationships. Looking forward to taking other courses. Thank you!

By Julie Smith on 1/16/2024

Procurement professionals are going to love this! It is practical, provides valuable information and importantly will help you in your day job to effectively manage all types of risk. Martin has done a sterling job of taking the learner through a really robust journey of risk management to set you up for success.

By Amit Patel on 1/16/2024

Thanks Martin for your inspiring and engaging course! I've spent many hours over my long career sitting through in-person and remote training. Many flatter to deceive. Some engage me during the course, but once I try to apply the learning in the cold light of day, it just doesn't quite click. Your course beautifully blended pragmatic, digestable information, that (most importantly) I can really see how to apply in the day job. All delivered with a smile and humour, which also makes a huge difference. I'm excited to learn more now and will definitely seek out more of your material, thanks!

By Darren Newell on 1/15/2024

I would highly recommend this course to both Supply Chain and Procurement professionals. The key theme of setting yourself up for success by selecting the right suppliers up front combined with appropriate supplier management I found really valuable. I feel I have understood what a great approach to Strategic Supplier Risk Management looks like and how to apply it.
