Strategic Planning

Opportunity and insight to attain breakthrough results from procurement organization design

The development of a strategic plan to improve the performance of the procurement function requires understanding not only where money is being spent, but how current decision-making influences spend. The ability to fully understand these actions can only come from a leadership-driven acceptance that change needs to happen. eXegy can show you the power of choosing to make change.

Spend diagnostics: are resources aligned with opportunity?

The eXegy strategic planning phase of organization design involves gathering expenditure data and other relevant disbursement information, then assessing that against the number of suppliers involved and other market factors. We call this an opportunity matrix.

Behavioral diagnostics: are buy-side decisions in line with vision?

This analysis serves the broader organization design goals by determining where organizational behavior is not consistent with current market realities and assessing the impact of that disconnect. In particular, eXegy is intent to understand how decisions are determined (typically price-only) relative the the broader, more long-term needs of the business.

Concise, actionable input to guide effective change

The information from these two diagnostic approaches forms an outline for interviews with key personnel, a vital step in gaining insight on spend dynamics and internal decision making. Our analysis of these cross-referenced diagnostics may apply to organization design or other areas, as we present specific recommendations for moving forward. In addition to reporting on the data's implications for the ongoing change plans the assessment provides insights on how to establish and set up spend governance across the organization.
