Transformation: From a Necessary Cost to a Competitive Weapon – Changing Procurement/Supply Chain to meet Tomorrow’s Challenges! 

This workshop is directed at senior leaders and others interested in leading transformation and change to move from a tactical back office function to a strategic partner and will focus on “WHY” the procurement/supply chain organization must evolve from a necessary cost to a competitive differentiator and “HOW” to make it happen.

We will discuss what happens if you don't redefine the role of the procurement/supply chain organization and explore the following questions:

• Who are the key stakeholders (internal and external) that will be impacted by and / or facilitate the change and their Value Drivers
•  Why it is important to move from competing to collaborating?
•  What is the tangible and measurable business benefit of making the change happen?
• We will then move into the HOW and explore what needs to change and how to do it:
• To make change happen you need to know your starting point. We will introduce the elements of a Transformation Blueprint and a Maturity Model which can be used to assess where you are.
• As a strategic business partner / internal consultant we must bring together their internal partners with their customers / suppliers to create alignment and match overall risk between the two parties and not just the price risk.
• Making the change happen will require a heavy dose of change leadership which may be the biggest challenge for your group. Your role as a change leader requires you to have radically different competencies as well.
• How to “sell” the new role of the Procurement/Supply Chain function and how it can be a competitive differentiator?
• How do you make the transformation happen?

• What are the specific elements that you must focus on:
  • Process
  • Role
  • Metrics
  • Relationships
  • Adoption
  • Collaboration
