Interim Management & Contingency Staffing

Karl Furrutter (and Associates) provides Procurement management resource options to clients in need of interim management & contract solutions. The greatest benefit of utilising these resources is to service unique, discreet or sensitive situations whereby a permanent role-player maybe dis-advantageous, unnecessary or impossible to source at short notice, or alternatively to fill extra capacity management needs or sudden gaps and departures.

Interim management: Options are available to clients requiring non- permanent Strategic Procurement (aka Strategic Sourcing) skillsets to rapidly effect unbiased, targeted and implemented strategic change or crisis resolution within specific dynamics of their Procurement business unit.

Contract Solutions: Options are available to those clients in need of Operational and Tactical Purchasing based skillsets quickly and for a defined period. Such skillsets may best be utilised for “gap filling”, supplementary, employment sensitive or other contingency requirements.

As specialist Procurement professionals our versatility is considerable, whether used to fill unexpected management gaps and contingency needs, or for Strategic Procurement projects or other strategy-based scenarios, where non-permanent unbiased specialised input is desirable.

Strategic Procurement

By definition, Strategic Procurement is the management process that ensures procurement is in line with the overall corporate strategy, and is focused on long term in-depth planning and management of the procurement strategy and functionality.

Tactical Purchasing

By definition, Purchasing is the routine tactical (day to day operational) activities associated with procuring quality materiel, products and services for the organisation, and ensuring the associated administrative management activities such as delivery, expediting, compliance and payment activities are managed effectively and efficiently.

Human Capital Development

To most dynamic Procurement executives, Human Capital and Procurement have become increasingly interdependent due to the fact that the greatest cost in real terms of financial and operational performance is effective human capital.

Specialised Procurement

Furrutter & Associates (Procurement) offers Specialised Procurement consulting and interim management solutions to clients in need of rapid targeted transformation and continuous improvement, within specialised non- mainstream facets of Procurement strategy, both within the short and long term.
