Before we talk about supplier innovation, value creation, or strategic partnerships—we must get the basics right.
Too often, organizations aim for high-level procurement outcomes while skipping the foundational step: Tactical Procurement. This is where we build control, visibility, and compliance into the system. It’s where we master the “how” of buying before attempting to influence the “why.”
The journey from tactical to value-driven procurement is not about skipping stages—it’s about evolving deliberately:
Start with structured processes and policies Mature into data-driven sourcing, risk, and supplier management Then align procurement with enterprise value, sustainability, and innovation
Without a strong tactical foundation, the strategy won’t stick—and value will remain aspirational.
Where are you on this journey?
