2 Innovative Ways to Deliver Significant Reduction in Indirect Spend October 12, 2017

3 Procurement Transformation Procurement Organizations operating with a mandate causes tension, damages trust and promotes unhealthy relationships. Background Challenges Medical Device Manufacturer had a tactical/transactional Purchasing function. The function reported to Finance and did not have annual performance goals. A 3 rd Party assessment was performed, emphasizing the need to invest in Strategic Procurement capabilities with a goal of $130mm of sustained cost savings over 3-4 years. A CPO was hired to begin the journey of a Center-Led Procurement organization and deliver against the goal. 1. Talent Management & Development 2. Establish Policies & Procedures 3. Force Change Management 4. Monitor Performance 5. Observations 6. Themes Control vs. Influence Mandate vs. Collaboration Inside-Out View vs. Outside-In View Misaligned Metrics, Goals and Incentives Procurement Savings vs. Financial Realization Several challenges existed when I was hired as a Category Manager to support Marketing Services that would require a vastly different approach from what had been taken prior. There was a need to reestablish trust, provide meaningful insight, and drive execution of results in a collaborative manner. The following opportunities to succeed consisted of: 1. Relationship Management 2. Business Understanding 3. Respecting the Journey 4. Domain Expertise 5. Data Intelligence 6. Deliver Results 7. Reporting Approach Phase I: Procurement Category Management Phase II: Department Strategy Development Phase III: Enterprise Strategy Development Phase IV: Governance 3

4 Procurement Transformation There were four distinct phases of the evolution that led to transforming a Purchasing Department to delivering significant Enterprise Value. Phase I Category Management Spend Analytics needed to gain a deeper understanding of the financials/spending behaviors Business Strategy ask questions to better understand the enterprise & function strategies Procurement Strategy needed to develop a comprehensive category strategy to support business Execute Plan execute the pipeline of projects Monitor Results leverage new found relationships to communicate results Phase II Procurement Strategy Talent & Organization Assessment assess the team s capabilities and top-grade talent (run vs. change). Stretch Goals establish stretch targets that seem unachievable that causes talent to think about breakthrough approaches (devise plan). Goal Alignment work with CFO to align goals between the enterprise and Procurement. Budget Review review performance against budget. Budget Planning incorporate plan into budget process. Phase III Enterprise Strategy Budget Effectiveness assess the overall effectiveness of the budgets assigned Zero Based Budgeting move to zero based budgeting and build Procurement pipeline within the annual budget Align Incentives use the newly aligned goals to influence compensation of all employees Drive Collaboration deliberately plan for consistent interactions with Procurement and its stakeholders Program Management focus efforts to ensure results Governance This is dummy text it is not here to be read this is dummy text it is not here to be read This is dummy text it is not here to be read this is dummy text it is not here to be read This is dummy text it is not here to be read This is dummy text it is not here to be read Member Firms and DTTL: Insert appropriate copyright (Go Header & Footer to edit this text) 4

5 Phase I Category Management 5

6 Phase I Category Management Marketing Services Introduction Marketing Spend = $57mm Highly Complex & fragmented environment How to win quickly Outcomes Drove $2.7mm of year-over-year (YOY) savings in 2 months by gaining an understanding of the environment, the Marketing Strategy, key relationships, and spend profile. Partnered with CMO s to align on opportunities, conducted joint negotiations, and strengthened agency relationships. Onboarding (0-2 mo.) Building (3-12 mo.) Barriers (0-12 mo.) Expansion (0-12 mo.)

US Sales Meeting Cost Reduction ~ $1mm 4. Meeting Management Reduction (Glbl.) ~ $3mm 5. Media Buying Reduction ~ 0.2mm 6. Global Agency Onboarding Strategy Savings erosion: volume, business reinvestment, poor budget performance. Ability to educate the business - high turnover, limited engagements with stakeholders. Limited Spend Visibility - no purchase orders. Scope creep of projects -poorly defined requirements. Capital Process was loosely defined - did not include the ongoing expense elements. Expand personal influence beyond Marketing into other business functions. Top grade Procurement Talent expand reach to sacred areas. Enhance Spend Visibility spend analytics and financial walk. Establish Procurement Council and formalize charters. Incorporate Procurement Pipeline into Budgeting Planning Process.

18 Phase IV Governance 18

19 Phase IV Governance Establish a Procurement Council and present the projects to the council prior to project execution. Projects >$10m spend or $1m savings potential Develop Category Plans Stage 0: Project Charter Project Execution (Joint Collaboration) Stage 1: Savings Validation Stage 2: Savings Realization Stage 3: Savings Reporting Stage 0*: Project Charter Project Charter Presented to Procurement Council (Monthly) Savings Categorization (Budget, Upside, Recovery) Project Sponsorship and Approval Granted Stage 1: Savings Validation Baseline Definition and Savings Projection Pre-Approval / Validation Granted Present and Seek Approval to Corporate Finance (Controllers/FP&A) Stage 2: Savings Realization Track and Monitor Actual Project Performance (Timing) Confirm Savings Disposition Savings Reclamation Stage 3: Savings Reporting Report Actual vs. Reported Savings to Procurement Council Perform Gap Analysis (if required) Develop Compliance Plans and present to Executive Committee

20 Phase IV Savings Challenge The Procurement Council takes the confrontation out of the discussion as Executive Leaders determine how to treat savings not Procurement. Need: Savings Capture & Reinvestment Process Pre-approval of Expenditures Internal Process Champions Outcomes: 1). Protect the Savings Realized 2). Drive 75-85% Improvement 3). Drive Accountability Prioritize Projects Capture Savings Winning Outcomes Opportunity: Identify Savings Purposefully Deploy Align Procurement resources to the areas of greatest business need, Aid the business in accomplishing business objectives (greater ROI), and Aid business in achieving EBITDA performance.

21 Organization Execution Guidance Phase IV Enhanced Savings Model Procurement Council: Oversight & Compliance required to drive change. 1. Prioritize Activities Business Objectives Spend Oversight 2. Allocate Resources Project Teams Define Programs 3. Realize Savings Monitor & Verify Results Monthly Reviews Assess Opportunities Program Prioritization Requisition to Payment- (P2P) Identify Resources Execute Projects Cross-Functional Teams Savings Analysis Ensure Compliance Mitigate Loss (of Value)

22 Phase IV Governance Steering Committee leadership and support is critical to improve the Company s financial performance. CPO Sponsor Core Team CFO FP&A BU Controllers BU President Function Leaders Procurement Finance Procurement Extended Team (Corporate) Invite appropriate stakeholders to participate as needed Legal General Council IT CIO HR CHRO Goals: 1.
