This sort of structured formal training combined with on - the - job
development opportunities through project working can be very
effective . Another option that may suit some organisations is
initiatives such as assignments on cross - functional projects and
interdepartmental secondments . In some cases it may even be
appropriate to arrange secondments or temporary job - swaps
between supplier and customer . This sort of opportunity gives the
individuals involved a chance to build their own professional skills ,
but also strengthens connections between functions or even
companies .

SRM requires the right balance of people , process and technology
capability and needs investment in developing the skills and
competencies required to fulfil its potential .
