276: A CPO’s First 100 Days - Building a High-Performing Procurement Operating Model w/ Vikas Tyagi

You have just been appointed to a new CPO position. Your executive leadership team is looking at you to make an immediate impact while setting up procurement as a driver of sustainable, long term value. You know that your first 100 days in the role may make or break your career. What do you do? Where do you start? 

In this special 5-part series, made possible through a partnership with Efficio, we will provide you with the roadmap you need to hit the ground running. 

In the second episode of the series, I spoke with Vikas Tyagi, a Principal at Efficio, about the steps a CPO can take to create a high performing procurement operating model - from assessing the suitability of their inherited model to designing a new fit for purpose organizational structure.

In addition, Vikas and I discussed:

• Why now is the right time to reset procurement operating models
• Why it is so hard for everyone to know what to expect of procurement
• The standard elements that should be part of any procurement operating model
• Best practices from procurement organizations who have successfully changed their operating model
