Leadership

The success of your procurement and supply chain largely depends on a number of key strands:

• leadership
• vision and support
• process robustness
• calibre of the team
• tools and techniques
• making it real.

Over the years, we’ve amassed a vast amount of experience through helping to transform procurement in many different sectors, including nuclear, aggregates, engineering, construction, manufacturing and the public sector. The challenges and lessons have varied tremendously:

• devolvement versus centralisation
• scope of role and remit
• the importance of timing and phasing activity
• ensuring that cost reduction is a catalyst not a spanner in the works
• the need for robust reporting
• communication, communication, communication.

“Since running the SpringTide Strategic Sourcing Awareness programme, there has been a positive step change in our procurement activities. The team are now working from the same reference point and as a result the approach is more consistent. It is not just SpringTide’s content, it is the way they tailor and deliver the content, that adds real value. I would have no hesitation in recommending SpringTide to any organisation that wants to develop and or transform its procurement activity.”
