What we can offer

Our three core services are

Capability and training


We have developed a unique range of training options, covering technical and soft skills, with proven core content that is then tailored to your industry, situation and current needs. 

We also provide capability gap assessments to help identify training and development needs. 



Coaching and mentoring

Savita and the team have decades of experience working at senior levels, helping to develop professionals on their journey through the P&SCM ladder to senior levels.

We don’t preach DEI but rather practice; Savita’s background gives her an insight into significant issues that few senior people share.

Consultancy

Our consultancy work is always people-focused. To be clear, we are not selling P2P technology transformation but we feel organisations need bespoke support to develop stronger teams and performance.

That might be around advice on how to build effective operating models to include the right category management methodology, definition of roles, recruitment approaches, structuring teams, or motivating and retaining talent.

Reviews

Beáta Farkas MCIPS
Savita has consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to guide, support, and challenge in ways that have contributed to my personal and professional development. From the outset, Savita took a keen interest in understanding the mentees’ goals, strengths, and areas for growth.

Her approach was always thoughtful, tailored, and deeply insightful. She was instrumental in offering both practical advice and the encouragement needed to take actionable steps forward. Her guidance in areas such as skills, leadership development, or career planning is invaluable.

Savita is an exceptional person whose commercial acumen, negotiation skills, and authentic influencing abilities have left a lasting impact on my career. As a peer during our time at Sony, Savita provided invaluable support to me and my teams, equipping us with the tools to navigate complex negotiations and deliver successful global projects.

Her ability to guide and inspire, while staying true to her values, taught me lessons that I continue to apply at Amazon Prime. Savita’s insights have been instrumental in shaping my approach to leadership and collaboration in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

I have taken with me, from Savita’s coaching, what it feels like to experience the robustness of mind-set that it is required to succeed, the perseverance in explaining procurement, and the smile and the easy approach required to attract people, making them feel safe and confident in the process.

Savita’s leadership coaching have been transformative for me as a working dad with a
young child. Her ability to empathise with the unique demands of balancing parenthood and a professional career, while maintaining focus and motivation, is truly inspiring. As a parent of young children herself, Savita brings an authentic and relatable perspective to her coaching sessions.

Her guidance has been eye-opening, helping me navigate the complexities of choosing the right path as I work toward achieving my goal of becoming a Chief Procurement Officer. Savita’s insights, encouragement, and practical advice have been invaluable, and I highly recommend her coaching to anyone looking to advance their career while maintaining a fulfilling personal life.

After being unsuccessful in a few job applications, where I’d met pretty much met everything on the person specification, I was looking for things to do to strengthen my skills to help me have more success. I found the CIPS Mentoring Circles. Since we concluded the sessions, I applied for another role. I used some of the insights Savita’s session to boost the quality of my application and interview, drawing on some of the discussions we had about savings, use of annual reports and market/category knowledge from the likes of Hackett and Beroe which meant I came out of the interview feeling very pleased with my performance.

I got the job and wanted to say thanks again. I do a lot of CPD and learning but I think it’s fair to say, the Mentoring Circles are one of the pound for pound best ones I’ve ever done.

I am not native British and although highly qualified with some experience, I struggled to move up from a Buyer’s role…until I met Savita. Her coaching, patience and insights into people, leadership and how to add value has quadrupled my annual salary, today I am a Senior Category Manager.

Savita brings an infectious energy to classrooms. She can easily engage with students on any supply chain related topic and is thus able to bring the best out of the students. She is also highly resourceful and has a large number of CPOs in her network, who can support both corporate training and university courses on topics relevant for procurement and supply chain.
