Solution

Using the Expert360 network, Questas engaged a Procurement Expert to manage the transformation of their procurement team post acquisition.

The Expert moved quickly to analyse the current state of business and understand the challenges Questas was facing. Using the analysis from the diagnostic, they renegotiated and standardised contracts, implemented national umbrella agreements.

Impact

The Expert made a strong impact on Questas, managing and leading a procurement diagnostic and transformation.
