The document discusses a radical transformation of procurement via a lean-agile approach at Barclays in January 2018. It outlines the lean-agile procurement process which brings competitors together in the same room over 3-4 days to co-create solutions, resolve risks, get peer feedback, and deliver first value within 6 weeks. Testimonials from participants note it was the shortest sales cycle at Microsoft ever and more valuable than a traditional offer as competitors were able to quickly develop, reconcile, and retain coordinated solutions for the customer.
