Choose the right perspective
Match the person's scope to your question, since a group-wide chief procurement officer, a CPO for a single operation or country and a raw materials buyer deal with different spend and supplier markets. If your issue is a specific commodity, region or capital project, favor people whose listed roles or responsibilities name it.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you split procurement between operating mines, expansion projects and corporate spend, and where did contracts management sit?
- 02How do you balance cost reduction against supply security when changing suppliers of critical equipment, energy or consumables for remote sites?
- 03What did you change first when you took over the procurement function, and how did you measure whether it worked?
