Listen Later

Depending on your point of view, the idea of transformation is either alluring or terrifying - or maybe a little bit of both? And while procurement teams rarely have the formal skillset to lead transformation projects, they are often tasked with just that. Fortunately, with a bit of planning and some well asked questions, it is possible to keep your transformation on track.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Ron Crabtree. Ron is the CEO of MetaOps and MetaExperts, organizations focused on business process improvement. He has over 30 years of experience implementing Lean, Six Sigma, and supply chain methodologies in industries from automotive and healthcare to government and financial services.

In this interview, Ron shares his point of view on:

  • The knowledge and skills procurement professionals should be building to support their ability to lead transformation
  • What sets transformational procurement leaders and executives apart from the rest
  • How to spot (or prevent!) the warning signs that your transformation project is headed for trouble
