In the past, Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) often operated behind the scenes, with procurement playing a largely overlooked role. However, times have changed, and in today’s business landscape, the expectations for CPOs have evolved significantly. CPOs are now expected to be digital directors, growth enablers, and value contributors. They are tasked with building strategic partnerships, driving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, addressing Scope 3 emissions, and managing complex risks. In addition, they are seen as essential members of the C-suite, contributing to the overall direction and success of the company. Recognizing these new demands, we use the 15M methodology developed by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Hess. This comprehensive framework blends all key qualities needed to help CPOs excel in the new era of procurement leadership.
The 15M architecture integrates all aspects of procurement into a practical, modular framework designed to build the optimal path toward Procurement Excellence.
At the heart of this approach is the 15M Maturity Assessment, which provides an evidence-based evaluation of key procurement areas, enabling a customized transformation plan tailored to each organization’s unique needs. Sourcing Champions’ dedicated digital tool facilitates the entire process, ensuring a streamlined and efficient experience.
