Imagine if you could take your learned experiences and an optimal toolset and go back in time, to day one, and structure your procurement organization. What would you do differently? What if you could re-design the way you take in new initiatives, or the tools you use, or even your stakeholder engagement practices? What if you could take the best and the brightest of your previous workforce and combine it with a new and more innovative workforce? And what if you were capable of doing this all while working under the pressures of a global pandemic?
Well, REI was. For the past year, we have been making a significant paradigm shift. We are on target to integrate Procure-to-Pay and Strategic Sourcing into a fully streamlined, best-in-class, Source-to-Pay organization with the customer at the center. We have been busy making choices about what must change to meet that target by examining our current practices and identifying optimal strategies in meeting customer goals.
You will not want to miss this session in which we discuss our journey to a best-in-class procurement organization.
You will hear about how we are:
- Shifting to a hybrid model
- Learning to be better operators with greater agility
- Empowering our staff to grow and innovate
- Transforming our stakeholders to investors and enabling shared ownership
