16:30 Fix, Win, Grow Case Study Revolution - - How Procurement Continuously Creates Value within a Rapidly Evolving Business
How Procurement Continuously Creates Value within a Rapidly Evolving Business
Benefit from a reflection on how Procurement has not only evolved as a profession, both in terms of its effectiveness and value creation, but how it must continually adapt to wider business ambitions in order to leverage a competitive advantage. Using QinetiQ as a case study, participants will gain an insight into the lessons learnt from having to rapidly develop procurement’s focus, style and approach to maximise its effect in a business whose focus in the space four years has changed from restoring the company to strength, to sustainable and organic earnings growth. In particular, this is an opportunity to reflect on how rapid change is embraced by buyers, stakeholders and suppliers, and the challenges that each group presents to success. Join to:
• Consider how the competitive advantage leveraged by best in class Procurement will change during an organisation’s evolutionary cycle
• Debate how Procurement not only keeps up with the rate of organisational change, but continually raises the bar on performance and standards
• Contemplate whether the most critical negotiations a buyer will undertake are with internal stakeholders as opposed to external suppliers
