Roche - The Agile Journey of Roche Procurement

Most have heard of ‘Agile’ by now and the theory sounds promising - to setup your organisation, team and ways of working to be ready to respond and innovate quickly in a world that is changing at an unprecedented speed. In Procurement and Contracting, the Agile success stories that come from IT and App building can feel remote and hard to translate to our world. In Roche, these pressures sit alongside the need to constantly bring ‘value beyond savings’ from suppliers and contracting. Join Colm Diamond and Mirko Kleiner spoke at the European Summit 2022 of the WorldCC about Roche’s journey on how the Procurement and Contracts function are changing their structure, how they think and how they work fundamentally to try to get Agile to work for them and how it’s going in reality.

Roche - Global

Colm and Mirko were invited to talk at the European Summit of the World Commerce & Contracting about the Agile Journey of Roche Procurement. It’s an inspiring session where Colm is giving us with several stories some insights in the new ways of working at Roche Procurement.

AGCO Int. - How Collaboration with Vendors / Competitors increases Innovation

The COVID-19 crisis has emphasised the importance of new -more agile- approaches in procurement. But is it just another buzzword, or has it become reality?!-Learn from AGCO Int. - How Collaboration with Vendors / Competitors has increased their Innovation.

AGCO International GmbH - Global

Konstantin introduced us in the world of direct sourcing and how agile principles such as collaboration & transparency with partners / competitors could foster innovation & improve business success.

You might know AGCO’s Brands of Tractors such as e.g. Fendt, Valtra, Massey Ferguson, etc.

The recording

To hear Konstantin’s talk jump right to 1:12:46 in the video.

The slide deck

Our Conclusions

  • AGCO’s approach of Agile Product Clinics where they bring together current Partners & Competitors to review the current m modules / components of their tractors turned out as a very effective way to come up with new ideas / improvements and also to select alternative vendors

  • Those Agile Product Clinics need a cross-functional support lead by a team consisting of Product Management / Marketing, Engineering, Production and Procurement. What a surprise that AGCO uses Scrum as operating model for this cross-functional team - the most effective way to organize a team.

  • Combining those workshops with revisiting / improving the current agreements will boost the outcomes for both parties at buyer and supplier side even beyond.

AGILE BUDGETS. AGILE CONTRACTS. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FINANCIAL NEED MEETS MARKET REALITY?

Market and business uncertainty has created an unprecedented need for agile and adaptable systems and processes. Finance is at the forefront, struggling to set and manage budgets, forecasts and cash flow in today’s unpredictable conditions. Learn from our Panalists Tim Cummins, Rikard Olson & Mirko Kleiner

Market and business uncertainty has created an unprecedented need for agile and adaptable systems and processes. Finance is at the forefront, struggling to set and manage budgets, forecasts and cash flow in today’s unpredictable conditions. 

Contracts are fundamental management tools and sources of information. For most industries, they drive revenue and for all industries they control spend – both external with suppliers and internal with employees and contract staff. But can they really become adaptive in ways that will better support the challenges that Finance faces? Is ‘agility’ achievable – and if so , how? 

Join us as we bring together three experts from the fields of finance, contracts and agile methods to discuss how we can best respond to the challenges of the market.

The recording

To hear the panel with Tim Cummins, Rikard Olsson & Mirko Kleiner watch the video.


Our Conclusions

  • Commercial functions is a design from the past and needs to be adapted too to achieve true Business Agility

  • Automatization & Digitalization will support the need for real time information / performance and decrease traditional reporting

  • Relevant informations will be defined much more outcome-based by the business, while e.g. forecasts depend on empirical data and yearly budgets will become a too static thing from the past

  • Ownership of financial needs more and more needs to be transferred to the value creation part of the organization

  • Commercial Capabilities are still important but might be organized much closer to the market as today

  • To react even faster to changing market needs the contracts / contractual frameworks need to become much more flexible than today

  • our suppliers need to become our strategic partners, that co-develop / -server the market needs jointly

More about the Panelist’s

  • Tim Cummins is founder and President of the global Alliance World Commerce & Contracting (formerly IACCM), Professor, Leeds University School of Law; Chair, International Commercial & Contract Management

  • Rikard Olsson is Managing Director at Beyond Budgeting Ltd (Beyond Budgeting Roundtable and Beyond Budgeting Advisory) & Board Member at Ekan Management

What could Business learn from Startups?

In Agile organisations, external partners are often treated as suppliers instead of partners, not recognising the opportunities they could potentially bring to their teams. In faster changing and complex environments, it will become a competitive advantage for companies to have fast access to an ecosystem of trusted partners with matching values and a fast contribution to goals. Join us this Friday as Mirko Kleiner will discuss what businesses could learn from startups in how they work with external suppliers.

I'd like to share the slides of my talk from the meet up "Future Friday" at Leiden University, the Hague.

Slides from my Speech "Success Factor Agile" from Agile Bodensee Conference, Konstanz/Germany

Approximately 60-90% of all sales are in the hands of procurement, which is a key success factor for companies. At the moment, digitization is taking place, especially in the area of imple procurement. However, the latest study by the University of St. Gallen shows that there is no recipe for the effective procurement of complex products and services. Does agility offer a solution? - It is about billions and thus nothing less than the survival of suppliers and customers!

Abstract

Approximately 60-90% of all sales are in the hands of procurement, which is a key success factor for companies. At the moment, digitization is taking place, especially in the area of imple procurement. However, the latest study by the University of St. Gallen shows that there is no recipe for the effective procurement of complex products and services. Does agility offer a solution? - It is about billions and thus nothing less than the survival of suppliers and customers!

If we agile coaches draw an ideal organization, it usually looks like a network organization consisting of agile, autonomous cells. Up to now, our focus in agile transformation has been on the customer and to the internal organization. In the future, agility will cover the entire value stream and thus also the agility of our partners.

As external partners are often closely integrated into the agile organization they became an essential component of the value stream. However, many are still being treated as suppliers with a focus on a price as low as possible, instead of partners on equal terms with additional innovation power. In an ever more rapidly changing, more complex world, it becomes an integral success factor for a company to have quick access to an ecosystem of adaptive partners. Therefor we have to adapt our sales and procurement as well.

KEY TAKE-AWAYS

Please find below the most important key take-aways of the speech:

  • the market is changing dramatically. Small vendors could stop production lines of big companies such as VW (27'000 Employees where blocked) and procurement was unable to react in time.
  • new developments like e.g. 3D-Printing offer new possibilities to solve complex problems in development and production with fast delivery (Lead times of DAYS to WEEKS), so that it makes no sense to spend months for procurement any more
  • for reaching true business agility companies need to create there own adaptive partner ecosystem. This will become a much bigger multiplier for business as today.
  • the lean procurement canvas and lean-agile procurement have the potential for a disruption as the business model canvas and lean startup had for business development
  • the lean procurement canvas is simple. Find an example in the slides
  • The lean procurement canvas is the most LEAN agile contract right after a verbal contract
  • there are success stories out there that sourced a new partner in 4 days instead of months, while the people that would work together evaluated each other in an agile approach.
