Lean Agile Procurement
Have you always imagined there's got to be a better way to handle procurement? There is! Lean Agile Procurement is a powerful framework that enables organisations to procure goods and services in a faster and collaborative way, with a focus on creating value, making good decisions and reducing waste.
Lean Agile Procurement (LAP)
At Nomad8, we're certified providers of LAP services and have a great track record of helping organisations successfully implement this framework. We believe that the procurement process should be fair to vendors and suppliers, and that's why LAP is designed to create a level playing field for all participants.
LAP training and coaching
With Lean Agile Procurement, the procurement process can take a matter of days or weeks instead of months, enabling your organisation to move quickly and seize opportunities as they arise. You can read more on LAP, including case studies, here.
We offer comprehensive training and coaching services to help you run a successful LAP process, including guidance on how to engage vendors and suppliers in an agile and collaborative manner.
We also offer coaching services to vendors and suppliers to help them understand what to expect from the LAP process and how to effectively participate in it. By working together, we can create maximum value and achieve your procurement goals in an agile and collaborative way.

LAP is an approach to procure goods or services when there is a high degree of complexity and uncertainty. It’s about finding a trusted partner sooner, by getting internal, then external alignment, then collaboratively building the best possible proposal together, to jointly deliver value sooner, safer, happier.

To understand risk and uncertainty in a sourcing project, we need to ask “What are all the things that need to be true for this to be successful?” This is where Assumptions mapping comes in. We have found this to be a really useful technique when working with organisations and procurement teams early in their sourcing process.

I get frustrated when I hear people talk about strategy, and then think they are done when they have come up with a vision and objectives. To me that is a mere platitude. I agree with Richard Rumelt that a good strategy is an “effective mix of thought and action”. Strategy needs both, but it also needs an approach to link the two together.
