A 1-hour session with Fredrik Axelsson

....that turns your procurement situation into a structured LHTS training program


Many procurement professionals know they need to learn more — but they do not always know where to start.

  • Should you begin with operative purchasing?
  • Should you focus on sourcing?
  • Do you need to understand contracts first?
  • Is supplier management your biggest gap?
  • Do you need a basic procurement framework for yourself or your team?


The Dedicated Procurement Training Roadmap helps you answer these questions.

In this 1-hour session with Fredrik Axelsson, you will map your current procurement situation, define your wanted capability position, and receive a dedicated training program based on LHTS content and the LHTS Procurement Framework.

Within 24 hours after the session, you receive a practical learning roadmap showing what to study, in what order, and how to apply the knowledge in your own procurement work.




What this session solves

Procurement training often fails because it starts with content instead of context.

A new buyer may be told to “learn procurement,” but procurement is a wide area. It includes operative buying, sourcing, supplier management, contract work, stakeholder management, value creation, governance, risk, and process control.

Without a clear learning path, it is easy to consume random courses and still miss the foundation.

This session starts from your reality.

We look at:

  • Where you are today
  • What procurement role you have or are moving toward
  • Which procurement problems you need to solve
  • Which basic knowledge you need first
  • Which LHTS courses and articles are most relevant
  • How to structure your learning into a practical development plan


The result is not a generic course list.

The result is a dedicated training roadmap designed around your current situation and your wanted position.




What you will receive

After the 1-hour session, you receive your Dedicated LHTS Procurement Training Roadmap.

The roadmap includes:

  • A short summary of your current procurement situation
  • Your wanted learning or capability position
  • The most important capability gaps to address
  • A recommended sequence of LHTS courses and learning content
  • Suggested articles, templates, and practical resources
  • Practical exercises connected to your work situation
  • A suggested learning order
  • A simple success definition for your training program


The purpose is to make your learning focused, relevant, and useful from the start.




Who this is for

This session is suitable for:

  • New buyers who need a structured start in procurement
  • Operative buyers who want to understand sourcing and supplier work
  • Tactical buyers who want to strengthen their basic procurement foundation
  • Procurement managers who want a training path for themselves or a small team
  • SME leaders who want to professionalize purchasing step by step
  • Business professionals who work with suppliers but lack formal procurement training
  • Teams that need a common procurement language and framework


This is especially useful if you know that procurement capability must improve, but you are unsure which learning steps should come first.




What makes this different from a normal course?

This is not a standard course where everyone follows the same path.

It is a guided training design session.

The LHTS content is already built around the Procurement Framework, roles, processes, and basic procurement knowledge. This session helps you select and sequence the right parts of that content for your situation.

You are not only buying access to information.

You are buying structure, since all content is free already.

You get help answering:

  1. What should I learn first?
  2. Why does it matter?
  3. Which LHTS content fits my situation?
  4. How should I apply it in practice?
  5. How do I know I have progressed?




How the session works

Step 1: Current situation

We start by understanding your starting point.

This may include your current role, procurement experience, daily tasks, challenges, supplier responsibilities, process maturity, and learning needs.

Examples of starting points may be:

  • “I am new in procurement and need the basics.”
  • “I place orders but want to understand sourcing.”
  • “I manage suppliers but lack structure.”
  • “Our team needs a common procurement process.”
  • “We are an SME and want to professionalize purchasing.”
  • “I need to understand contracts, RFQs, and stakeholders better.”




Step 2: Wanted position

Next, we define where you want to go.

Examples of wanted positions may be:

  • Understand the full procurement framework
  • Become more confident as a buyer
  • Run a basic RFQ process
  • Improve supplier follow-up
  • Understand contract clauses
  • Build a common learning path for a team
  • Move from reactive purchasing to structured procurement
  • Prepare for a tactical buyer role


The clearer the wanted position, the better the training roadmap. LHTS is about the basics in procurement. 




Step 3: Gap analysis

We then identify the gap between your current situation and your wanted position.

The gap may be related to:

  • Procurement terminology
  • Role understanding
  • Operative purchasing
  • Tactical sourcing
  • RFQ preparation
  • Stakeholder management
  • Supplier evaluation
  • Contract understanding
  • Supplier performance
  • Procurement governance
  • Value creation
  • Procurement process maturity

This helps us decide what knowledge should come first.




Step 4: Your training roadmap

After the session, your input is turned into a dedicated training roadmap based on LHTS content.

The roadmap shows the recommended learning sequence and connects each step to a practical procurement purpose.

For example, your roadmap may include:

  • The LHTS Procurement Framework
  • The True Role of Procurement
  • Sourcing Process 1
  • RFQ Template
  • Contract clause articles
  • Supplier management content
  • Procurement governance content
  • Value Management content
  • Practical exercises based on your work situation

The exact path depends on your starting point and goal.




Example outcome

A buyer in training may enter the session with this situation:

“I work with purchase orders and supplier follow-up, but I want to understand sourcing and become more confident in supplier discussions.”

The training roadmap may then focus on:

  1. Understanding the procurement framework
  2. Clarifying operative, tactical, and management roles
  3. Learning the basic sourcing process
  4. Understanding stakeholders in purchasing decisions
  5. Learning how to prepare an RFQ
  6. Understanding basic supplier evaluation
  7. Reading basic contract clauses
  8. Applying the learning to one real purchasing case

The result is a practical learning path that connects training directly to the buyer’s development.




What this session is not

This session is not a full procurement transformation project.

It does not include:

  • A full procurement maturity audit
  • Category strategy development
  • Supplier market analysis
  • Contract legal review
  • Negotiation support
  • Custom course production
  • Implementation consulting

The purpose is focused and clear:

to create a dedicated basic procurement training program based on your situation, your wanted position, and relevant LHTS content.




Why this matters

Good procurement capability starts with structure.

Before a buyer can manage suppliers, run RFQs, negotiate, evaluate contracts, or create value, they need to understand the procurement framework and how the different parts connect.

This session helps you build that foundation in the right order.

Instead of learning randomly, you receive a clear path.

Instead of guessing what course to take next, you know why each step matters.

Instead of separating theory from practice, your roadmap connects LHTS content to your own procurement situation.




What you will be able to do after receiving your roadmap

After the session and roadmap delivery, you will have:

  • A clearer understanding of your procurement learning need
  • A defined target position for your development
  • A structured LHTS learning path
  • A practical order for your training
  • A connection between courses, articles, and your real procurement work
  • A simple way to measure progress
  • A stronger foundation for continuing your procurement development

Why LHTS content is relevant for basic procurement training

LHTS is built to help buyers and procurement professionals understand procurement from the ground up.

The content is based on the LHTS Procurement Framework, which connects procurement roles, processes, learning levels, and practical buyer situations. This makes it suitable for basic training because the learner does not only study isolated topics — they learn how procurement fits together.

For a buyer in training, this is important. Procurement is not only about placing orders, sending RFQs, or negotiating prices. A buyer needs to understand the full context: operative buying, tactical sourcing, supplier management, contracts, stakeholders, value creation, governance, and the role procurement plays in the business.

LHTS gives the learner a structured foundation through:

  • Close to 300 free procurement articles
  • Close to 100 free online lectures
  • Basic-level content connected to the Procurement Framework
  • Practical explanations written for buyers and procurement professionals
  • Courses, articles, templates, and examples that can be combined into a dedicated learning path


This makes LHTS especially useful when creating a personalized training roadmap. Instead of building training from scratch, the roadmap can use existing LHTS content and organize it around the customer’s current situation and wanted position.

For learners who want more support, it is also possible to buy additional hours with Fredrik Axelsson and colleagues for deeper guidance, follow-up, or discussion. For those who want formal recognition of their learning, LHTS also offers the possibility to continue toward an LHTS certification.

In short, LHTS is relevant for basic procurement training because it combines free learning content, structured framework logic, practical procurement experience, and optional expert support into one learning environment.
