One of the toughest tasks for any procurement executive is to determine the right organizational structure of the procurement team. During this working group, discuss with your peers:

• The benefits and drawbacks of centralized and decentralized teams
• How many dollars one person should manage
• The data needed to benchmark staff
• How to best organize your team based on your company’s specific needs
• Managing the talent pipeline to ensure your team members complement, not compete, with each other
• Ensuring they have the training and mentors needed to become an influential asset to the team
