As part of a large, end-to-end supply chain transformation, a multinational life science company was implementing a new cloud-based procurement system. In order to ensure success, the global procurement team needed to adopt an entirely new way of working. The head of strategic project delivery and global procurement reached out to our team for support in developing and fulfilling training needs across a wide portfolio of stakeholder groups.
We delivered a former senior consultant at PwC and IBM—who was experienced at creating both online and in-person training modules—to collaborate closely with content and process owners to determine training needs and then develop a curriculum to support the company's change initiative.
