Content

In this semester, you will write a purchasing document for a service in which cooperation between the client and the contracted party plays a crucial role. You will do this based on a "challenge” (assignement from a client) as a member of a purchasing team. Next, you will also become a member of a development team and as a start-up, you will take on the "challenge” of a purchasing team and develop a new service using the purchasing document of that purchasing team. Whilst developing this new service, you will be a specialist in the area of sustainability, hospitality or health. 
Both the purchasing process and the development process will be supported iteratively with the help of Scrum and Design Thinking. 
For the entire semester, you will therefore have the role of purchaser and developer and you will put together a portfolio for both roles that contains (group)assignments and proof of your capabilities and development. The portfolios will also serve as input for the assessment meeting.
