As Sanofi, a F500 pharmaceutical company, embarked on its GBS transformation, the team knew that to unlock true enterprise value from the procurement function that they would need to move beyond a transactional S2P process. Sanofi procurement leaders will talk openly and candidly about the relationship between the CPO and business operations and how the S2P function has been a cornerstone of the transformative journey Sanofi has been on. They will address: 

• The importance of establishing foundations and getting back to the basics, including moving from a legacy, fragmented delivery model and process to a single, end-to-end operating model 
• The need to transform operations, deploying a target operating model and new business processes that work for the business, rather than simply focusing on one step in the E2E S2P process 
• The impact of community building and the need to ensure you put the right people with the right skills in the right roles and locations to unlock the full potential of the transformation.
