747: Continuous Improvement as the Cure for Transformation Fatigue W/ Joël Collin-Demers

"You have to build a business case and be mindful and purposeful about your continuous improvement and your education around the art of what is possible." Joël Collin-Demers, Consulting Principal at Pure Procurement

The rapid expansion in the procurement technology landscape in recent years has left many procurement leaders feeling overwhelmed by choice and complexity and second-guessing themselves about how to successfully take advantage of all the opportunities that technology provides.

In this episode, Philip Ideson speaks with Joël Collin-Demers, Consulting Principal at Pure Procurement, about why continuous improvement, rather than transformation, might be the key to successful procurement digitization.

Joël explains how the tendency to view transformation as a means to a clearly defined endpoint often leads to overwhelmed teams and unrealized value. Instead of a one-off digital transformation overhaul, he advocates for a measured, strategic approach that starts with understanding business processes and builds technology capabilities incrementally over a sustained period of time.In this episode, Joel and Philip explore:

Practical steps on how to embark on a digitization journey and develop an effective procurement technology roadmap, no matter where you're starting from
How to navigate trends and changes in the procure tech market, including full-suite versus single-point solutions
How to leverage the relationship between procurement and IT to overcome constraints to digitization
