Approvals from the Giving Side

An approval looks like paperwork. It is the moment risk stops being the supplier's and becomes yours. You cover what each one transfers, what a day of your silence actually costs, and why a condition nobody can check is a condition nobody can enforce.

Course value

What will you be able to do?

Work outcome

You can place an order with the supplier who can genuinely take it, and run a dated critical path across a portfolio rather than one order. You can judge a factory on evidence rather than on its last excuse, and act on a slip while there is still time to act.

Who it is for

Brand and buying-office teams.

What you will produce

You build an approval file for one live order. You record every submission with what your yes transfers and what it does not settle. You count the days your own office took against the days the calendar allowed. You price a day at five points on that calendar. And you rewrite a conditional approval so that somebody can check it before the money is spent.
