I feel like change decisions could also be significant here. If they’re outsourcing everything, there might be a lot of changes to manage, but I’m not sure how that fits into the bigger picture.

This reminds me of a practice question we did on stakeholder management. I think financial standing is definitely a key area for the Procurement manager, especially in tough economic times.

I’m a bit unsure about how to prioritize these areas of interest. I think overall portfolio performance might be the most critical, but I’m not entirely confident.

I remember we discussed the importance of aligning benefits and outcomes with strategic goals in our last class. It seems like that would be crucial for the Procurement manager.
