Helping a company such as Clarins to develop and transform its purchasing function (implementation of new processes and of a purchasing IS tool) was a challenge; we had to involve different departments of the subsidiaries to reach a consensus and ensure that it was adopted.
Beyond the definition of the processes and IS tool guidelines, it was very interesting to assist the purchasing team in the appropriation and deployment of the function (process and tool implementation, team training program, etc.).
