Vendor Site Visit Course Added to Compliance Curriculum
OCEAN, N.J., May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Compliance Education Institute has released its latest vendor management-specific course, adding to its industry-leading Certified Regulatory Vendor Program Manager course and roster of regulatory-focused courseware. Vendor Site Visits: Beyond the Welcome Mat steps through the site visit process and includes a Site Visit Strategic Planning worksheet and Site Visit ScoreCard that assesses fourteen functional areas and determines the vendor's risk rating.
"I wrote Beyond the Welcome Mat because there's a science to a conducting a site visit in order to derive value so that you can make an intelligent decision about whether to do business with a new vendor or continue to do business with an existing vendor," stated Mick Kless President and CEO of Compliance Education Institute. "I constantly get emails and phone calls and am asked what to look for and what to ask the vendor. People get so worried about going on the visit that they don't really think about what they want to come away with. You shouldn't just show up at a vendor's door and be at the mercy of the vendor's agenda. Your time is way too valuable for that. The course covers everything from advance strategic planning to observations you should make before you walk in to getting a sense for the intangibles about the staff to the questions to ask and observations to make while onsite. We even cover how to divide and conquer if you send more than one person to visit the vendor. The included Planning Worksheet that we built is a great tool with which to organize your visit and gauge whether you got what you came for. The Site Visit ScoreCard is an invaluable risk management tool that will help you evaluate any type of vendor that you visit. It contains hundreds of questions to choose from depending upon the type of vendor you visit and your objectives."
