“We just can’t seem to escape
this without recognising that what we want to achieve is a
route to lower costs, not only a route to lower prices”
“Of course we need to measure
the performance of our most important suppliers, but this
“crowds out” a much more important dialogue”
“Our processes do not
encourage suppliers to evaluate us as customers of choice
who actively are seeking innovation and co-created value”
“Our own buyers often have
neither the time nor the knowledge to manage a deeper
discussion with our most important suppliers”
Why are value based relationships so
difficult for large organizations?

Participants Academia & Partners
Smal l group of invi ted senior bus iness leaders f rom Procurement
Part ic ipants f rom large / medium / smal l s ize Pharma companies
Ser ies of three 1 -day workshops focusing on lead quest ion:
“What are the key challenges & opportunities in the healthcare
sector and pharmaceutical industry, and how to address by better
leveraging the unique capabil it ies within our supply base”

“We just can’t seem to escape

1. SRM is broken Measurement / KPIs are limited (focus on Perf. Mgmt, Risk Mgmt, and Cost
savings)
Systems aren’t adequate to move further
Intelligence needed to access higher-level needs, and visibility into Supply-Base capability
Limited acceptance from business to move beyond savings & compliance
Insufficient capabilities within Procurement to step-up
SRM needs to help manage complexity and drive it out of the value chain
SRM is a cross-functional commercial activity, balancing risk, innovation, and market opportunities
1. Healthcare trends wi l l have signif icant impact on Pharma industry
1. This threat can be an opportunity for Procurement to di fferently leverage i t ’s supply base Procurement needs to move from "controller” to “orchestrator ” by building coalition
across value-chain
SRM has potential to influence EVA, not only reduce COGS, through value co -creation across entire supply chain
Can’t directly address identified issues

Anecdotal survey among CPO’s reveal5 basic t ruths about Innovation Sourcing
© 2013 The Beyond Group AG
The ability to interact with suppliers allowing for the collaborative discovery,
development and use of novel ideas in processes or products that create an
enhanced value proposition for both parties
Sourcing Innovation – What is it?
- yet there are common truths we can extract. Some conclusions:There is a great deal of literature/experience available but no absolute way of defining an
approach
• Buyer/Supplier
strategies differ
• Know what type of
innovation to look
for: S-C-T-D
• Make sure you are
solving a real need
(PULL not PUSH)
• Share your strategy
& expectations with
right suppliers
• Focused Search
• Use of appropriate
tools
• Portals
• Fairs
• Crowd Sourcing
• Collaborative
• Methodology e.g.
W-F-G-M model
• Do not over
regulate
1- Random is Not
Acceptable
3- Champion the
Process
• Systemic Facilitation
• Have mandate!
• Communicate with
internal stakeholders
• Communicate with
suppliers – process
& expectations
• Visible Program
• Senior Level
Involvement
4- Manage
Expectations
• Protection of
Intellectual
Property
• Profit Sharing
approach
• Close the loop
• Supplier
• Customers
• Internal
• Clear visible &
objective process
2- Strategic
Landscape5- Talent
• Recognize new
talent needs
• Develop new role
profiles
• Recruit from
leading
organizations
• Talent and
progression for
highest qualified
only

Corporations wi l l become more dependent on their external network
The role of procurement wi l l s ignif icantly change into a much smaller
highly strategic organization
I t is focused on creating entrepreneurial value with suppliers and
increasingly with customers
Routine tasks wi l l mostly be transferred to Global Business Services
organization (GBS)
As a consequence business partnering wi l l become a key to success
for procurement
The ski l ls of procurement professionals wi l l have to change
The Business Partner wi l l master a broad span of competencies, be
passionately engaged beyond procurement…
…and require the necessary environment to succeed

Becoming a “Connector”Growing need for Procurement to be a stronger network
manager
Why so important?
Procurement is uniquely positioned within the
organization. Some clear opportunities:
Increasingly tasked with “bringing the outside in”
Communications between and even within
departments not always solid
Need for for standardization and harmonization
across all functions
No natural owner for cross-functional Project
Management
Connectors
People with special gift for bringing the world
together.
Know lots and different kinds of people
They are curious, self-confident, sociable
and have high energy
39
Procurement as Alliance ManagerHow to to become accepted and recognized
1. OBJECTIVES &
INCENTIVES
2. MINDSET
Go beyond financial objectives
1. Mutual objectives for both sides (e.g. savings and profi tabi l i ty) , closer to corporate goals
2. Progress milestones against 3-5 year journey (evaluate 1-5 level, incl . relat ionship)
3. Impact on P&L (overal l , not incremental)
ACTION : ident i fy a paint -point (not too large) and f ix i t through the al l iance (which canvt be solved by ourselves) as f i rs t proof of concept (answer f rom mgmt must be: where e lse can th is be appl ied)
Not just from Procurement but also the entire
organization
1. Be seen as having good commercial awareness ( incl. what real drivers are)
2. Connector mental i ty, stop managing the your personal interest and manage to the mutual outcome
3. Leadership, courage to think difference
ACTION: select a p i lo t to demonstrate, and put a l l resources at i t to be successful
40
3. SKILLS
4. PROCESS &
SYSTEMS
Alliance Management is team effort, and
Procurement can take a leadership role
1. Communication
2. Emotional Intel l igence (bui lds on connector mental i ty)
3. Project Management
4. + Strategic Planning
ACTION: assess your peers
1. Qual i ty Management Something l ike SRM abi l i ty to evaluate qual i ty AM
2. Lifecycle Management
3. System that acts as repository to manage al l iances
ACTION: start conversat ion so process at buying and se l l ing is a l igned
