Structuring procurement for success.

We help CFOs and procurement leaders design operating models that match what the function is actually being asked to deliver.

When a capable team is working hard and still missing the mark, the structure is often the reason. Decisions with no clear owner, a mandate that outgrew the team, spend that everyone touches and no one is accountable for. We design for what the function needs to deliver now, so the team can do its best work rather than fight the shape of the organisation to get there.

The result is a model you can stand behind, where structure, roles, decision rights, category coverage and the systems behind them are aligned so it's clear who owns what, where the specialist capability sits and how procurement is held to account.

Designed for where the function is going, not where it has been

A mandate expands, a business grows, two functions merge after an acquisition. The operating model rarely keeps pace on its own. We design for the mandate ahead, so the structure supports the next few years rather than the last few.

Senior practitioners, grounded in your context

This is not generic operating model theory applied from a template. Every review is led by senior people who have designed and led procurement functions across government, financial services and energy, and who know which parts of a model survive contact with how a business actually works.

Operating model design

01
Function scope

Defining what procurement owns, influences and advises on across the organisation, so the boundaries are clear and nothing critical falls between the gaps.

02
Team structure

How roles are organised and where specialist capability sits, whether spend is best managed centrally, distributed across the business or through a hybrid of both.

03
Governance

How decisions are made and how procurement is held accountable by leadership, with the decision rights written down rather than assumed.

04
Category coverage

How spend is segmented and managed across the function, so the highest-value and highest-risk categories get the attention they warrant.

05
Technology

What systems and tools the function needs to operate effectively at its scale, matched to the model rather than bolted on after it.

06
Transition

A realistic plan for moving from the current state to the target model, sequenced so the change lands with the team that has to run it.

Our Operating Model programs give procurement a structure built for what the function is being asked to deliver
