“ It’ s even better when you’ re able to share this with your team. They embrace it. They’ re supporting it. And anytime or every time that there is something which is a bit challenging, you know you can get back to them because they’ ve got your back.”
Alongside this strong sense of team, Lyvio identifies a“ co-building culture” within Opella’ s procurement department as another important enabler of its rapid transformation.
He positions the team as“ internal advisors” to procurement first and also to the wider business, with external events providing one example of how this culture works in practice. Potential partners and emerging technologies can be identified externally, brought back into the organisation and assessed against operational challenges facing the business.
“ This is where the co-building is starting for me,” Lyvio explains.“ Having first that outside identification of the potential innovation, qualifying it technically, bringing it in-house, discussing it internally, making sure it could be relevant and then starting together to co-build what the future could be
