Stakeholder management is key for gaining traction and taking action in Procurement
We are almost halfway through Q1 of 2025. What doesn't get kicked off in Q1 will often not land by Q4 - no matter if you talk about creating category strategies, launching projects, delivering savings, or starting the necessary transformation.
Some of these can feel like big tasks, almost insurmountable. But procrastination doesn't offer comfort. It only offers defeat. After all, you can't finish what you never started.
Because transformation, like category strategies, is dependent on people, this edition focuses on actionable tips and advice to help you start the transformation, build the strategy, and deliver the savings. Join our discussion with Hormel Foods on how to deliver a transformation in 18 months and read how improving your stakeholder management skills will help you execute your plans. And if you want to go deep on all things category Management, check the agenda of the upcoming Cirtuo Procurement Forum 2025.
Transformation requires commitment & leadership
Cirtuo is the cornerstone of Hormel Foods' procurement transformation. "If you are strong on category strategies, it gives you a roadmap for execution." In this webinar, Renee Falk, lead of the Procurement Center of Excellence, and Amanda Tarantino Jacques, Cirtuo Customer Success Partner, discuss how changing the operating model and introducing strategic procurement technology has altered the face of Procurement at Hormel Foods.
