Why do you need this transformation?

If you:

• Do not have well-defined and aligned procurement and supply chain strategy
• Do not have strategically positioned procurement function
• Do not have clear procurement roles and responsibilities
• Do not have strategic procurement skill
• Do not have KPIs, aligned with business and procurement objectives
• Have functional silos and barriers between people and departments
• Have disconnected, redundant, duplicated operational processes
• Have insufficient level of automation causing repetitive and manual tasks
• Have fragmented IT infrastructure / systems and information gaps
• Do not have standardized tools & templates (e.g., supplier contract, NDA)

If your answer is YES to any of the questions above, then you need to transform your procurement function to re-gain its strategic position and to ensure efficient execution of processes.

12 key questions that you need to answer when transforming your procurement:

1. What are the gaps in my current organization and processes in terms of bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and risks?
2. What is the required organizational structure including the category tree?
3. What is the required size of the procurement function?
4. Is there a role for outsourcing in procurement? What are these roles?
5. What level of cross-functionality is required? How to set-up cross functional teams?
6. What are the to-be operational processes?
7. What are the to-be strategic processes?
8. What are the supplier management processes?
9. What are the roles and responsibilities?
10. Which KPI’s to monitor?
11. How to align procurement targets with other departments (i.e., production, sales)?
12. Is my organization ready for transformation and change? What is the level of readiness? What are the risks of this program? What is my mitigation plan?
