Overview

Lean-Agile Procurement (LAP) is a new and exciting simple approach for procurement. Imagine sourcing an ERP system in just four weeks by having three competitors cocreate their proposals simultaneously in the same room over two days. LAP is based on agile and lean principles and focuses on the business value and people involved. The results will surprise you! Lead time of sourcing a new partner is reduced to days. The approach solves the most important customer problems upfront to reduce risk. LAP strategies are part of the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit’s approach to Vendor Management because LAP represents the leading edge in partnering with vendor organizations.
