5 key takeouts

For which team do you want to be the
MVP?

Establish who you want to be most valuable to – is it
your procurement team, your stakeholders, or the
whole organisation?

Be a trusted advisor

Position yourself as the person within your
organisation that people seek out for guidance and
direction.

Don’t neglect the foundations

Ensure you deliver on the basics – such as quality of
service and cost savings – before seeking additional
opportunities to become more valued.

Be agile

Flexibility is key. Listen to your stakeholders and be
agile enough to react to their needs, rather than simply
looking for activities that suit your sourcing process.

Don’t be a hammer looking for a nail

Trusted business advisors need to create more of
a “pull” model for their services and less of a “push”
model. Listen to your stakeholders and seek out ways
to provide value.
