09:35 Breaking Down Your Organization To Build And Staff Your Team

One of the toughest tasks for any procurement executive is to determine the right organizational structure of the procurement team. During this working group, discuss with your peers:
• The benefits and drawbacks of centralized and decentralized teams
• How many dollars one person should manage
• The data needed to benchmark staff
• How to best organize your team based on your company’s specific needs
• Managing the talent pipeline to ensure your team members complement, not compete, with each other
• Ensuring they have the training and mentors needed to become an influential asset to the team
