The pressure to innovate and adapt to the ever-evolving needs of the business now demands procurement leaders to have the ability to not only administer within their function, but also to lead change within their organizations. However, obtaining and maintaining true transformation change has proven to be one of the more challenging aspects of leading a procurement or supply chain organization. This session will focus on key best practices for leading change and as an example, will consider specific impacts of innovation on the behavior of the internal personnel within the implementation of proven optimal approaches for solicitation development, administration, and delivery from a procurement perspective. This session will provide practical methods and specific examples to help you the next time you have to adopt new methodologies, processes, technologies, or tools across your organization. Key learnings from over 20 years of research and 600 organizational change initiatives will be incorporated throughout the session.
