Every procurement organization wants to add more strategic value to the enterprise - but not every organization needs a full-scale transformation to do so. Listen in as Jake Taylor , Managing Director for ProcureAbility, discusses how leaders can take a choose-your-own-adventure approach to strategic procurement, starting with an unbiased assessment of what's actually broken. From stakeholder misalignment and fragmented processes to outdated systems and unclear success metrics, progress starts with big-picture clarity. Jake explores how to assess whether your organization is ready for a bold transformation - or whether targeted tuning will deliver faster, more sustainable impact while building the business case and executive momentum for a broader future scope. His discussion with Dawn Tiura , CEO & President of SIG will include insights on: Diagnosing the Real Problem: How to move beyond generic improvement goals and clearly identify root causes - across stakeholders, processes, data, capabilities, and technology. Transform vs. Tune Decisions: When a holistic procurement transformation makes sense - and when focused, high-impact tuning is the smarter path.
