Use this checklist to align
Choose the right first move, design the operating model around it, and learn before you scale.
Start with the sourcing question, category context, stakeholder needs, and the friction that is worth removing.
Make roles, handoffs, approvals, supplier communication, and exceptions explicit before choosing the automation.
Decide which supplier, category, spend, requirements, and event data must be accurate and connected.
Give teams a first use case, clear measures, feedback loops, enablement, and a safe path to improve the model.
