In many ways leading a sourcing initiative in the indirect expenditure area is much more difficult than leading change in the direct materials area. When considering an initiative to drive cost out of direct materials spend, Procurement has a degree of ownership over the categories of spend. For indirect categories, often much of the control lies with functions or businesses that manage the budget--and Procurement is seen as a roadblock to getting things done! This webcast will provide an infrastructure and process for successful management of the indirect area.
It will enable participants to learn the following:
• Selling the value of Purchasing
• Mapping and Identifying stakeholders
• Stakeholder communications
• Developing a project infrastructure
• Choosing teams, building a charter and training
• Developing and leading cross functional and cross business teams
