Background
A large firm in the global food sector partnered with us to transform procurement post-acquisition through standardization, harmonization and simplification
Through substantial growth from acquisition, we were brought on to standardize, simplify and harmonize global procurement operations
Approach
We deployed a small, but agile team, focused on a 3 phase (Diagnose / Design / Develop) methodology, to ensure maximum engagement throughout the project lifecycle. Through this, we identified all existing procurement requirements, tested procurement strategies through content creation stage gate model, and encouraged executive level steerco engagement.
Results
After 3 months of transformation, we created a single global procurement policy, covering all requirements across procurement accountabilities. The new policy established an enterprise wide standard, to act as the springboard and catalyst for broader functional transformation, simplification and harmonization.
