Regenerative Procurement: Catalysts for Business Growth and Resilience

“Activate ESG and Value Creation through Procurement to Accelerate Growth and Strengthen Business Resilience”

Overcoming the unexpected through renewed Procurement expertise

The Procurement function currently find itself at the convergence of today’s challenges: economic, societal, environmental, technological and geo-political. The return to value creation after decades of focusing on price reductions and managing sourcing and reputational risks is becoming extremely complex in a multi-polar and uncertain world.

The Procurement function should contribute to give the world a chance to become socially and environmentally viable

I believe in operational consulting that offers an outside view of current issues, expertise and knowledge of Artificial Intelligence tools, experienced and unconventional, disruptive because freed from the constraints of everyday life. I also believe in the powerful complementary effectiveness of training, coaching and mentoring.

My approach contributes to the development of the Procurement and Suppliers eco-system, supporting the functions in their contribution to giving the world a chance to become socially and environmentally viable.

Shaping the future by reconsidering the Procurement Operating Models

Procurement Departments need General Management to listen to them. For their part, General Management needs Procurement operating models that are more resilient than ever, functions capable of assessing the long-term economic, environmental and societal impact of the recommendations they develop and recommend.

Implementing a resilient approach to Procurement 

To ensure that Procurement Departments are heard and followed up on projects with an impact on the economic, environmental and reputational future of companies, it is important to go beyond current best practices. Let’s consider implementing a resilient approach to the way Procurement operates.

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to weigh on world trade, the inversion of the balance of power between companies and their suppliers, which is responsible for the rise in costs, could become sustainable. Article published in Le Monde on November 5, 2021

Could we have foreseen that the Covid crisis, which had already damaged value chains in the winter of 2020, would continue to severely disrupt the entire global industry?
