Case · EWE

Stabilising procurement leadership and governance in a regulated group environment.

As a founder-led consultancy, ADDRED assumed reorganisation and interim management responsibility within EWE Group Procurement, with Lars Rompe responsible for the engagement.

2014–2015

Interim Procurement Leadership

Direct and indirect requirements

Regulated environment

Business situation

Procurement had to connect leadership, processes and regulatory requirements.

A broad portfolio of direct and indirect requirements called for clear accountabilities, reliable team leadership and consistent tender and contracting processes in a regulated group environment.

ADDRED responsibility

Temporary leadership with a reorganisation and delivery mandate.

ADDRED assumed responsibility for reorganising and temporarily leading the procurement team and for stabilising governance and operational effectiveness.

  • Interim leadership and prioritisation within the procurement team
  • Reorganisation of roles, accountabilities and collaboration
  • Management of direct and indirect procurement requirements
  • Consideration of public and European tender requirements
  • Strengthening of RfX, contracting and governance processes

Impact

Greater stability, decision capability and organisational continuity.

Temporary executive ownership connected organisational stabilisation with practical delivery. The procurement team gained a reliable framework for priorities, tenders and collaboration across the group.

Team, spend and outcome figures will only be published after documented validation and clearance.
