10 Tips for building a
When? • New company.
• New position.
• After re-org.
30 Days What Sourcing Manager Example
1. Understand your purpose and then your commitments and expectations: what will it take to succeed?
What are your deliverables: cost, continuity of supply, quality etc as well as what templates and tools should be used.
2. Find the right mentors First mentor – experienced and savvy person in a similar or related role. Second mentor – only slightly (~1 year) newer than you are in a similar position. This is the person you can ask all the embarrassing questions…
3. Get to know your team Present yourself and your team management and leadership approach, start getting to know your team members: skills, experience, approach ambitions etc.
4. Prioritize and understand what are the most important things to learn
Focus on getting inputs from internal sources such as R&D, Marketing, Finance etc. Be ready to prioritize or you might drown in information – start with time sensitive items.

5. Review the strategic plans / strategies for your role Review the sourcing strategy for the category you own and start to see what changes/additions are needed. Do this while you still have a fresh perspective.
6. Make yourself familiar with the corporate culture and decision making process
Meeting & email dynamics, timing punctuality, decision making process and approach, formal vs. informal discussions, dress code, open door vs. structured, lunch at desk or in company etc
7. Get invited to relevant meetings At first, get invited to all relevant meetings. Then, start to prioritize and ensure you are in the proper meetings where the relevant decisions are being made. For example – initial design decisions.

8. Focus on building internal partnerships and figure out how to build credibility
Make sure you start bringing value in meetings, mainly with development partners, to ensure you start building your credibility and reputation. This will enhance the trust and respect your internal partners will have and will allow you (in the future) to have the right influence.
9. Understand the short-term issues and challenges – focus on quick wins
Focus on the opportunities where you can make an immediate impact while also start to put in place a plan for the more complicated items. Decide on any org changes if necessary.
10. Meet customers, suppliers and external partners Priority is key here – start meetings external partners only when you have real value add to the meeting even if minimal, don’t just come to learn. First impressions are important.
