Ep 161: The Truth About Procurement Transformation feat. Nataša Cikač


Listen Later

Recognizing the need for procurement transformation sometimes comes from within procurement, and in other cases it is driven by management-level goals and expectations. Regardless of where the idea for transformation begins, few stones in the organization will be left unturned by the time it is over.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Nataša Cikač. Nataša is the CEO of Cronata, a Croatia-based company that provides procurement transformation support and coaching.

In this interview, Nataša shares her perspective on effective procurement transformation - including a story or two:

  • Some of the things that might cause a management team to start thinking about procurement transformation
  • Why it is so important to document expectations before the transformation project gets underway
  • The power of recognizing and articulating the ‘why’ for the change in addition to the need for change
