Seeding Procurement people into the business is effective as long as they don’t “go native” and become disconnected from shared best practices and learnings of the Procurement function. If you put some checks and balances in place, like stage reviews, peer reviews and sourcing strategy documentation reviews, you can achieve the best of both worlds. However, if it becomes a relationship of just doing what they ask without any pushback or independent review, then any gains achieved will be tactical and non-sustainable over the long term.
