The Sourcing Hero

Ep 198: Testing the Elasticity of Procurement feat. Peter Sharoff

Listen Later

Procurement is a function whose time has arrived. The question is whether they are ready to make the changes necessary to seize the opportunity and meet business-wide expectations for process and experience at the same time.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Peter Sharoff. Peter has executive-level experience in a number of functional areas, including transformation, integration, finance, and… of course… procurement. As he describes it, he has worked a ‘puzzle piece’ career, having the opportunity to see what each of the pieces of the business is capable of - and the image they can form if they work together.

In this interview, Peter speaks about:

  • How procurement leaders can separate important or fundamental procurement skills from the skills that are truly transformative
  • How procurement can ‘create a space’ that other functional leaders and decision makers want to step into
  • Advice for capturing and messaging the ROI of having a better procurement user experience 
  • Healthy ways for procurement to pursue and think about their own importance
