How well an organization - or a procurement team - knows itself plays a huge role in how successful they are able to be in any change effort, systems implementations included. Knowing what the objectives of the project are and having a plan to stay focused on them until they are achieved is both absolutely critical and also a lot harder than it sounds.
In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Sam Bowyer. Sam is a Director at Optis Consulting, where he focuses on the strategy side of implementation. Over the last decade, he has helped procurement teams prepare for, strategize about, and - in some cases - execute systems implementations.
Sam shares his experience with some of the greatest challenges and opportunities procurement faces during times of change:
- How a desire to proceed deliberately may clash with the business’s enthusiasm about new capabilities and functionality
- The connections (and correlations) between procurement’s mindset towards change and their overall maturity as a function
- Characteristics he sees among his most effective procurement points of contact
