In the earliest stages of a team’s journey, they may be looking for digital solutions and working to establish the right organizational structure and way of engaging the business.
As they mature, procurement’s role in the company changes, as does the talent they need on staff and the support they can use from trusted third parties.
Seeing transformation as a journey means accepting that (a.) the work will never be complete, and (b.) it is critical to find a partner that can grow with procurement, shifting what they deliver as their needs become more specific and sophisticated.
In an AOP Live session, Christopher Kane, Senior Director of Global Procurement & Strategic Sourcing at Sarepta Therapeutics, and Jennifer Ulrich, VP, Advisory from Corcentric, shared details of Sarepta procurement’s evolutionary journey, including the successes and challenges they experienced along the way.
Christopher and Jennifer answered live questions about:
