Professional Training

JD's TRAINING BACKGROUND
Jonathan Dutton has developed and delivered training courses throughout his career of over 35 years. Particularly he has developed & delivered innovative and leading edge material for both procurement professionals and sales teams alike - sometimes both at the same time such as 'The Training Sales Simulator' he developed for the QANTAS sales team in the 1990s training how to work with procurement managers.
Also, Jonathan devised, planned and launched from scratch the CIPSA Training business whilst he was working there between 2004-13 - a business delivering over 250 training days a year at its peak, as the largest provider of public training in procurement in Australia. Whilst he was COO of CIM in the UK, he ran the CIM training business - which was around the 25th largest training company in the UK at the time. In Australia, in the early 1990s, he developed and produced a world class training programme for the Qantas sales team; some of this work was based upon the British Airways in-house programme ...
He has also developed Learning & Development strategy for several organisations including the design of an entire procurement L&D programme for DFAT through 105 locations worldwide from skills analysis, team assessment and course design.
For a growing Australian procurement consultancy, Jonathan designed an assessed training regime and programme for their clients including eLearning, online training support, assessed AQF qualifications and international accreditations.
Since 2013, Jonathan has personally developed and delivered several short training courses for over 600 attendees in total. These programmes include private training programmes for organisations such as Holden, DFAT, Victorian Government, Fisher & Paykel, Defence, Aldi, SA Health and others. He also designed and ran the PASA training programme from 2018 through to today.
In addition, public programmes have been 'retailed' throughout Australia and New Zealand by specialist learning providers including PASA, Konnect Learning and now Prodonovich Advisory for the legal profession. Overseas initially by Zenith, then FDB Events in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur as well as Dubai.
By far the most successful programme JD has devised and run is the two-day STRATEGIC PROCUREMENT Masterclass workshop (detailed below) for procurement managers. Attendees have included executives from organisations such as Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Telstra, Novartis, Foxtel, Vic Government, Petronas, Oil Search, Bluescope, EY, PWC and many others - some more are listed aside.
JD has gained a reputation for engaging education and presentation work built on real substance and great content, using a wealth of real examples and case studies, delivered in a vibrant, informative and engaging way.

What previous attendees have said:
"I went into the course with a relatively low expectation of receiving mountains of theory and not so many practical examples.
To my absolute delight I found Jonathan’s delivery to be extremely energetic. His ability to call on practical examples for almost every scenario discussed was outstanding.
The examples were very real and stretched across many industries, scenarios and often strayed well beyond his own personal experiences.

“The course was absolutely fantastic and Jonathan was a breath of fresh air, especially his knowledge & personal experiences he shared with us.
I took away so much from the course I would recommended it to anyone in my field.”
Arvind Mistry
Purchasing Co-ordinator
Genea
"Engaging, enjoyable and informative with real-life, current examples.
In my 30+ years as a procurement professional I’ve attended many courses and workshops.
This one ranks up there with the best!
JD’s style challenged as well as informed and created genuine participation and debate from the course members.”

"Jonathan ran a two-day private workshop on STRATEGIC PROCUREMENT for our entire team of almost two dozen people in July 2016. JD used his industry experience, practical thinking and unique approach to deliver a highly relevant message, one that made us reflect on our current approach and ask the right questions ourselves to shape a better future for our organisation”
Eddy Pereira, GM Procurement, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Auckland, New Zealand: 2016
