Inspection that makes impact
Modern demands upon procurement teams are many and varied, extending well beyond cost and into areas like sustainability, risk, and innovation. This means that procurement teams need to blend traditional procurement skills with incremental capabilities and solutions that enable them to connect with different stakeholders and do multiple different things well. Fall down on capability, and you fall down on trust and, ultimately, impact. However, budgets and resources are often tight, underlining the importance of designing and building the right capability mix.
“CPOs have to continuously align with shifting business priorities. Keeping functions optimized to meet these challenges is essential to make impact in the right places”

Putting capability at the heart of it
Over time, the role of procurement has evolved from one of pure sourcing into the more strategic and multifaceted function that we see today. In this period, we have built in category management approaches, designed business partnership models, and digitized processes. Now as we focus on areas like risk, purpose, and growth, we can think afresh about how businesses best interact with their supply networks and so the capabilities that are required in procurement.
- A strategy that is anchored to the priorities of the business and broken out into a more granular “how”
- Processes and data are optimized around the strategy, automated where possible, and optimized around UX.
- A blend of internal and external capability are used in a hybrid skills model that can flex to demands
creating a future that suits you
Our approach to capability transformation is always to build the right procurement model rather than default to a one-size-fits-all. This means working closely with you to define a future that suits your organization and inspires you and your team. Sometimes this means a complete build; at others it’s looking to augment or develop what is already in place. Often, transformations are triggered by a particular need and can run concurrently with other initiatives such as cost programs, full potential transformations, or sustainable procurement drives.
- Experience in multifaceted procurement transformation delivered by expert SMEs working closely with your teams.
- A centralized IP model ensures access to the latest thinking and methods and partners for more specialist insight.
- An approach that can tailor to the need to build, operate, and transfer capability back to your direct ownership.
