WAYFINDER TRAINING EQUIPPING PROCUREMENT TEAMS WITH PRACTICAL CAPABILITY
Your procurement teams are under growing pressure to deliver on Scope 3. Most of them know it. What they don't have is a clear, practical way to act on it, that connects to the deals they're doing, the suppliers they're managing, and the commercial pressures they're working under every day.
WAYFINDER training is designed to close that gap. Built around the WAYFINDER strategy framework, BRAE’s strategy tool that translates sustainability into the language of procurement, it equips category teams to integrate sustainability into the mechanics of their daily work. Sustainability as part of getting the deal done, not as an add on.
Our training doesn't start by assuming procurement professionals need to become sustainability experts. It starts with what they already know: negotiation, commercial structuring, contract management, supplier relationships. Over the course of the day, we show procurement people how to use their existing capabilities to deliver sustainability outcomes.
The WAYFINDER framework structures that thinking across five stages of the procurement lifecycle: define, discover, negotiate, consume, innovate. The training brings it to life.
The training is delivered as a full-day immersive programme built around real-world scenarios, category simulations, and using role-play. Participants work through deals under pressure, practising how to integrate sustainability into commercial negotiations, assess whether supplier claims are genuine, and design long-term transition partnerships that hold.
“This completely changed how we position ESG, it’s a strategic lever now, not just a box to tick
The role-play was brilliant. It helped me internalise the learning by applying it under pressure”
Delivered as a single full-day workshop, or we can adapt it into a series of bitesize virtual sessions that are shaped to your team's maturity, ambition and budget.
Talk to us if your procurement function is under pressure to deliver on Scope 3 and needs a practical way in.
