What is Lean-Agile Procurement?
Lean-Agile Procurement is an agile approach to manage complex sourcing projects. Many people still use written RfP processes, but for complex projects, a written RfP does not handle complexity well. Lean-Agile Procurement is a faster, more engaging and fun approach to finding the best-fit partner to meet your needs. The time to select a partner is reduced, the most important customer problems are solved first and customers and prospective suppliers get to interact and problem-solve together.
