How I think
- 01
Structure
The MD was approving 2,600+ POs a year.
- 02
Analyse
Mapped PO count vs value by band.
- 03
Evaluate options
Approval by value band vs by category vs by vendor risk.
- 04
Align stakeholders
MD and senior leadership team, backed by a 30-day no-issue guarantee.
- 05
Execute
Delegated ~80% of POs to relevant stakeholders.
- 06
Measure
Under 200 MD approvals a year, with 70–75% of procurement value still under leadership review.
