Jigsaw’s Viewpoint
Integral Energy is a new client for the Jigsaw Search business. This partnership has evolved as the organisation focuses to move from a reactive operations and transactional purchasing offering to a forward thinking pro-active strategic category management approach.
The new procurement capability will be engaging the business in a consultative approach, understanding the budget holder requirements and then putting in place spend strategies that add value to both the stakeholders, suppliers and the entity that is Integral Energy.
This centralised approach is led by the General Manager of Strategic Procurement. This approach has been heavily weighted towards commercial outcomes. This both ensures commitment to change the way Integral Energy executes business and offers a fantastic opportunity to procurement professionals seeking a long term strategic challenge under strong leadership.
