Flagship program
Procurement Spend Analytics Studio
A six-week studio for analysts and category owners who need a durable way to visualize procurement spend—and to know when the picture is incomplete.
Modules
Each week mixes a live clinic with a desk assignment using scrubbed sample extracts.
-
Extract honesty
Profile PO, invoice, and receipt joins. Spot duplicate vendor names and silent nulls before you chart anything.
-
Category cuts that survive debate
Design hierarchies stakeholders recognize. Practice rolling up facilities, IT, and logistics without burying maverick spend.
-
Supplier concentration views
Build treemaps and ranked bars that show dependency risk. Annotate where single-source choices are intentional.
-
Time and leakage patterns
Seasonality, price drift, and off-contract purchasing—charts paired with a written “what we cannot yet prove” note.
-
Platform layout for ongoing use
Wire a lightweight analytics platform structure: landing KPI strip, category deep-dives, and an exceptions queue.
-
Steering narrative
Present a 12-minute spend readout. Peers score clarity, not slide polish.
Learning outcomes
- Produce a governed spend cube definition your team can reuse
- Choose chart types that answer category questions without overclaiming
- Document data limitations beside the visual, not in a footnote graveyard
- Facilitate a short leadership conversation using the board you built

FAQ
Which tools do we use?
Concepts are tool-agnostic. Demonstrations rotate between common BI suites and spreadsheet models so teams are not locked to one stack.
Do I need SQL?
Basic joins help, but they are not required. We provide prepared extracts and optional stretch tasks for those who want to write queries.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not implement full data-warehouse architecture or vendor software licenses. If your extracts never arrive on a schedule, the dashboards you build here will stay classroom-quality until IT partners engage.
Course reviews
“Nadia’s week-four leakage panel replaced our ‘miscellaneous’ catch-all. The pacing in week one felt brisk if your master data is chaotic.”
★★★★☆
Short take: supplier concentration module alone justified the seat. Wanted a deeper appendix on services spend.
