“Transformation” is one of the most overused words in business today, and in Procurement, we are not an exception to the rule. Typical transformation initiatives are narrowly focused, and attack a single focus area for targeted improvement – frequently due to a current pain point or issue. The presenters will lead a discussion around how Procurement Organizations can approach transformation initiatives more holistically, and emphasize the impacts that are possible across the broad spectrum of Source-to-Pay activities.  Having led transformation initiatives at three different organizations, Ms. Behan will talk about how to gain critical buy-in from senior management that supports a fundamentally different procurement business model from business-as-usual.
