Take the challenges from the previous case study and apply them to your own workplace. Discuss with your peers how you would handle these challenges, which resources you would need at your disposal and how you could change management program updates in order to implement and enforce new measures. Roundtables should be prepared to report back to the group!

Have your training and recruitment programs kept up with your transformation? Even with the advent of supply chain MBA programs, it’s estimated that graduates will only fill 20% of the openings, clearly indicating a talent shortage in the field. When rising up through the ranks no longer is a guarantee for success, discuss during this working group how to optimize your procurement team, including:
• Conducting an employee skillset analysis
• Sharing resources across departments to locate potential future leaders
• Determining how much spend under management one person should have
• Ensuring mid/senior level external hires have a clear career trajectory
• Determining if you’re willing to sacrifice some savings to keep a less-than-ideal team fully staffed
• Reducing tactical headcount, and increasing “relationship managers”
