For several years, purchasing departments have demonstrated their contribution to company performance. Today, in order to sustain the performance achieved, the division must continue to professionalize and establish its legitimacy.
This evolution in the maturity of the purchasing division requires the alignment of the structure, resources, skills, processes and the associated management system, in order to ensure proper interaction and coordination with the various business lines.
To help you find pragmatic solutions to these challenges, we apply our expertise through the following approaches:
Purchasing: a potential for value creation waiting to be unlocked.
The effective roll-out of the vision and ambition of this approach to Purchasing is closely linked to the choice of the right organizational model, the adequacy of resources and the roles and responsibilities of each person, the agility and interconnection of the processes concerned, and the tools implemented to “boost” performance.
The relevance of the system and its alignment with the company’s strategy must meet a single objective: to support the ambition set in terms of value creation and risk management. The Purchasing function must also demonstrate its performance and present the ROI of its actions by utilizing the appropriate metrics.
Our approach is based on a key diagnostic stage that highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the current model, co-constructs the vision and ambition of this approach to Purchasing, and designs the target system and the relevant trajectory for successfully implementing the change.
The success of an organization and its level of performance are closely linked to its human capital. With this in mind, we offer our clients a range of services designed to manage and develop this capital.
