16:10 Interactive Case Study – Creating a New Procurement Organisation as Publishing Moves from Print to Digital

When Andreas first arrived at Ringier there was no procurement organisation and spend was managed inside the CFO’s office. Since then the global business environment has been impacted by the advent of online, cloud, digital and the print sector, perhaps more than others, has had to dramatically transform. Sharing some of his experiences during this time, Andreas will focus on his lessons learned:

  • Starting from scratch; how to build a procurement function from the ground

  • The key aspects and priorities to consider when organising the department

  • Communicating in a persuasive manner: ensuring that added value is visible and measurable

  • How quickly can work generate value and where do the risks lie?
