Procurement Roadmap: Business Case For Change
The document is used to engage senior leadership, the business and solution partners to:
Organization
The Procurement Roadmap is organized around three types of work:
The Governance calendar, Services inventory and Initiative portfolio are contained in the appendix of this document.
Governance (Sample)
A calendar of predefined topics is scheduled to provide alignment of Policy and Operations. The key is to ensure that desired
behavior is reinforced through Policy. Keeping the rules simplified can be accomplished by communicating Policy adoption as
engagement is services and embedding the compliance rules into the services.
In addition, the inventory allows the organization to be nimble in adjusting to strategic shifts in focus (e.g., using the inventory to
map two organizations during an M&A event).
• Sourcing waves – typically one time efforts to analyze and negotiate supplier spend
• P2P automation – implementing solutions to automate Purchase Request, Purchase Order and Invoice processing
• Workforce optimization – eliminating item processing and optimizing labor costs related to repeat functions
More recently, two trends have emerged to elevate Spend Management performance:
• Shared Service mindset – simplifying engagement in services through shared service portals for business and suppliers
• Supplier management – extending value into the business through the development of a Center of Excellence for supplier
management
The below graph maps the sequence of initiatives for capability maturity:
Engagement can be greatly clarified by creating a shared services portal which treats all employee and supplier requests with
consistent response and resolution times. This shared service mindset is successful in meeting today’s workforce expectations.
A sound Policy and Process adoption strategy is to embed controls and rules into the services so that employees and suppliers need
only to engage in the services to drive compliance and efficiency.
Below are sample visuals of how employee engagement and adoption are simplified and scaled through shared service approach.
