Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your problem, since running procure-to-pay processes and systems differs from leading procurement governance or a regional buying team. Check the dates of the relevant role as well, because procurement tools and automation options have changed a great deal in recent years.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you design the procure-to-pay process so requesters get what they need quickly without bypassing controls?
- 02Which procurement operations measures do you track, and which ones actually changed decisions?
- 03What would you automate first in a purchasing process that still runs largely on email and spreadsheets?
