How do you start a strategic, value-added procurement programme?
Porter's Five Forces and SWOT analysis have become generally accepted tools for the development of procurement category strategies. Despite Porter's development of Value Chain Analysis as a far more relevant and capable tool, I have not seen VCA used by Procurement other than where we have introduced it.
Do you use Value Chain Analysis? Are you put off by its apparent complexity? Are you interested in hearing how to make it more simple to use?
You can find out how I start a strategic, value-added procurement programme at http://www.acuityconsultants.com/news.html#pitfalls_of_centralised_procurement_3
For this discussion do you have any thoughts or tips on the use of Value Chain Analysis? Perhaps you prefer other techniques, in which case, how do you start a strategic, value-added procurement programme?
