Procurement Transformation
The Purchasing Function cannot, on its own, cope with the increasing number of crises. It must, under the impetus of General Management, integrate everywhere and as often as possible, with the company’s key businesses and functions. Operating in silos will be lethal to organizations that do not understand this and will be satisfied with the recipes that made them prosper in a more stable world.

Procurement needs to change
Since the Covid crisis, with the climate transition underway and the questioning of globalization against a backdrop of lasting geopolitical shifts, purchasing is more than ever at the forefront. Reshoring, addressing CSR issues that are sometimes contradictory, securing the supply chain, etc.
All of these changes impact all aspects of the purchasing operating model. In particular, they call into question its mission, the talent it needs to adapt to the challenges, the relevant tools and systems, and ultimately the target operating structures and processes to meet all these challenges.
One thing is sure: General Management must think holistically about this function, which is more strategic than ever.
