Management IQ's exclusive interview with Geoff Wells General Manager Strategic Procurement, Endeavour Energy

Creating Influence, Managing Change and Achieving Results

Strategic Procurement 2012 has been created to address the challenges of driving internal change and managing shifts in the external environment. Creating a strategic perspective and fitting together, policy and governance, team structuring, category definition, market intelligence, tendering, contract management and vendor relationship management is no easy feat.

Organisations across Australia are at different stages of development, with some creating overhauls from a low base, others restructuring to better align with business unit needs and some making incremental but vital improvements to policies, systems and relationships. Strategic Procurement 2012 will focus on on case studies about how change has been achieved, how risk has been handled, how strategic planning and execution have been improved. Interactive discussion about the key challenges facing procurement as a function will focus attention on solutions and results but also raise questions about next steps.

Once positive change in delivery of strategic value has been achieved, ongoing communication about exactly how professional procurement makes a difference is necessary to keep raising the status and influence of procurement as a function.

Don’t miss this opportunity to focus your transformation efforts and address mutual challenges.
