Business Consulting for Procurement

Bringing clarity to Procurement function transformations

Procurement functions are now at the heart of complex transformations: digitization of processes, increased requirements in terms of performance, compliance, and risk management, evolving roles and ways of collaborating with other functions within the company.

The Business Consulting for Procurement from OJC supports organizations in structuring, securing, and managing these transformations, upstream and beyond tool implementation projects, to ensure sustainable results aligned with business challenges.

Procurement transformations often more complex than they seem

Procurement transformation projects rarely fail for purely technological reasons.
They most often encounter:

  • insufficiently clarified objectives,
  • heterogeneous or poorly formalized processes,
  • poorly defined responsibilities,
  • a lack of alignment between Procurement, Finance, IT, and Business Units,
  • or an overestimated transformation capacity.

In this context, Business Consulting for Procurement aims to reduce uncertainty, objectify decisions, and align the transformation of Procurement with the reality of the organization.

Business & Process Diagnosis for Procurement

Understand the actual operation of Procurement before taking action.

We analyze the Procurement organization as a whole in order to:

  • assess the maturity of Procurement and Supply Chain processes,
  • analyze the value chain and operating methods,
  • identify risks, dependencies, and friction points,
  • evaluate the Procurement function's ability to absorb a transformation.

This diagnosis makes it possible to go beyond a theoretical view of practices to understand how Procurement actually works on a daily basis, and which levers to prioritize for action.

Transformation Strategy & Roadmap for Procurement

Choose a clear and realistic procurement transformation path.

Based on the assessment, we support decision-makers in:

  • clarifying the ambitions and priorities of the Procurement function,
  • defining transformation scenarios (organizational, process, digital),
  • making trade-offs between standardization, adaptation, and sequencing,
  • building pragmatic roadmaps.

The objective is to define a coherent procurement transformation path, aligned with the company's strategy and compatible with human, organizational, and operational constraints.

Business Operational Support for Procurement

Secure decisions and Procurement transformation over time.

Beyond the framing phases, OJC supports Procurement teams and decision-making bodies at key moments of the transformation:

  • decision support in complex or uncertain contexts,
  • support for Procurement teams and stakeholders,
  • securing critical phases (pre-project, transitions, adjustments),
  • maintaining alignment between defined strategy and on-the-ground reality.

We act as a trusted third party, serving the performance and sustainability of the transformation.
