Carrying out a diagnosis to build a detailed action plan that will sustain performance
In this kind of crisis context (loss of market share, talent drain, low overall procurement maturity), innovating to adapt and regain momentum is essential. After verifying the potential, we pushed our client to transform its operating methods and be able to activate and combine, thanks to multidisciplinary project teams, powerful levers: adaptation of technical products specifications, research and qualification of new supply sources, redistribution of its market share, and make or buy on certain links in the product value chain.Mathieu Louis-Sylvestre, Director - Procurement Practice Leader
