1. To keep control, release control
Main points for procurement leaders to consider to initiate their agile
transformation journey:
1- Supply chain professionals are used to the annual planning cycle
that somehow has an end where implementation begins.
Developing an adaptive planning cycle that is constantly
reconsidering where they are in the plan so they can capitalize on
short-term opportunities.
2- Devolve approval chains. Trust your people to do the right thing
and allow more executional freedom than you are comfortable
with.
3- Develop a propensity-for-action. Reward people for making
choices and taking actions even if it results the outcome to be
reversed.
