Sessions

How to Build and Mature Sourcing Processes in a Decentralized Organization?

Case Study

Thursday, December 04

09:10 am - 09:40 am

Live in Chicago

Less Details

Establishing and maturing a consistent and efficient Source-to-Contract process in a decentralized organization is rarely straightforward. With fragmented intake channels, varying legal and compliance steps, and a lack of shared understanding, stakeholders are often left to navigate the system on their own. This session shares the practical steps and lessons learned from designing and maturing sourcing processes in such an environment. We’ll explore how to identify key process gaps, engage diverse stakeholder groups, integrate with ITAM and compliance frameworks, and build scalable sourcing practices that support business goals — all while making it easier for users to engage the process, not circumvent it. In this session you will learn:

  • How to set up a clear and scalable Source-to-Contract process in a decentralized setting?
  • How to identify and address fragmentation across intake, legal, and onboarding workflows?
  • How to create stakeholder buy-in and drive consistent adoption across business units?
