Therefore, a maturity assessment provides vital insights. Furthermore, it equips organizations to excel and progress through stages up to and including becoming a World Sourcing Champion. Hence, this knowledge is not just helpful; it’s crucial for strategic growth in procurement transformation.

What is Sourcing Champions’s Strategy? – 15M Methodology

Developed by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hess in 2008, the 15M methodology integrates practice and research. This approach focuses on holistic, sustainable, and agile procurement and supplier strategies. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Hess has refined the 15M architecture through developing over 20 procurement strategies in multinational companies.

A Modular Framework

The 15M strategic framework showcases the meticulousness an engineer would apply in designing a world-class circular house. It possesses no structural weaknesses, nor any subpar features. Building such a structure, particularly through renovation, is challenging. Therefore, the 15M architecture adopts a modular approach. Each component of the existing procurement strategy undergoes a thorough review through the 15M Maturity Assessment. Consequently, fifteen such “inspections” provide valuable quantitative and qualitative data for procurement transformation. This method clearly defines the steps for an effective “renovation” plan.

The 15M Structure

If you were to inspect the blueprint of this procurement strategy, you would discover fifteen modules. These are organized into five strategic sections, each vital to the procurement process. At the heart of our procurement strategy is the Procurement Framework Strategy (SP1). Like a house’s foundation, it supports the entire structure by integrating our supply and corporate strategies. This alignment facilitates a smooth operational flow throughout our supply management system. Category Strategies (SP2) act as essential building blocks. They enable us to execute our procurement market strategy effectively. Our Supplier Strategies (SP3) unlock successful partnerships. These strategies guide our interactions, much like architectural plans guide construction. Furthermore, our Process & Digital Strategies (SP4) ensure that all procurement operations run seamlessly. These strategies, covering everything from planning to risk and sustainability, incorporate digital solutions to optimize efficiency. Lastly, our Procurement Performance Management (SP5) aligns our strategic execution. Performance Controlling (N14) uses Balanced Scorecard logic to oversee our procurement strategy. Meanwhile, Organisation (N15) ensures a robust management system, fostering continual development.
