Understanding the buying landscape is critical
The 3 types of procurement professional
TYPE 1
The Career Buyer
Procurement-only roles
Operates “by the book”
Generalist with varied category experience
Focused on the demands of line management
& internal stakeholders
Not receptive to unsolicited supplier ideas
Controlled, a little aloof, unemotional
Tends to see price first and value second
TYPE 2
The Butterfly Regarded as a Procurement specialist,
typically in specific categories
Gravitates towards ‘headline-grabbing’ deals
Often views negotiation as a sport
Choreographs situations to maximise pricing
leverage
Claims to have good internal relationships,
but in reality they can be quite surface
Regularly moves roles/organizations and
rarely gets involved in contract
management matters
Not particularly focused on business
outcomes
Well networked
TYPE 3
The Change Agent Broader business mind-set
Experienced in other functional areas
Strong internal network
‘Internal consumer’ approach
Interested in innovation, new ideas,
good practices
Focused on business outcomes, and
genuine, sustainable value
Challenges processes that do not add value
Receptive to unsolicited supplier ideas
Today’s challenges require change management thinking most of all
Change Management Thinking
has two key strands
Constantly Eliminating Non Value Add Activities
Continually Looking for Further Improvements

4 Defects
Waste Procurement Perspective
Over-Production The collection of ‘just in case’ information, PO processing bottlenecks
Over-Processing Unnecessarily bureaucratic signoff, approvals and review processes. Overly complex RfX methodology
Excess Inventory Ordering inventory or services too early, backlog of PO and contract requests
Defects Paperwork errors, rework of administrative processes, supplier errors and quality issues, inaccurate supplier contracts needing amendment
Transportation How quickly and seamlessly documentation travels through the buying process
Wasted Motion Inefficient workflows internally and externally
Waiting Time Shortage of qualified personnel, internal and external delays in handling key documentation
Unused Employee Genius Purchasing personnel spending too much time on administrative rather than strategic tasks

Executive Buyers
Demonstrating strategic value through the lens of a supplier
If they focus on their services
and their pricing…
They are a supplier with a commodity.
If they focus on the features and
benefits of their services…
They are a supplier with some
added value.
If they focus on YOUR challenges and
how they can help…
They are a problem solver and
an important resource.
Can you spot the difference?
There isn’t one.
How do procurement professionals demonstrate strategic value?
They have the ability to build rapport at all levels
They are excellent communicators
They are good listeners
They have charisma
They have fantastic people skills
They understand their stakeholders key issues and their culture/preferred way of working
They can think on their feet
They can explain the technical aspects of
the procurement process in simple terms
They have great influencing skills
They are problem solvers and important resources
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Procurement must consider itself to be a change
management function
Commercial and technical skills are merely ‘table-stakes’ in this environment
The change management mindset is all about eliminating waste and continually improving
To offer strategic value you must be regarded as a problem solver
