By JANE MUIRURIMore by this AuthorQ. I work for the procurement department of an international hotel chain. Organise a team forum and invite all the representatives of the branches, the aim to understand the challenges of each team. In the forum, discuss and formulate a strategy in line with the larger organisation strategy. Discuss this draft procurement strategy with your CEO and executive managers and ensure finance and HR are involved. Create boundaries and a service desk in each of the branches so that there is less disruption between departments.
