Accelerating Value in the Middle East: How Lean-Agile Procurement Powers the Agile Product Operating Model
Traditional procurement cycles of 6–12 months are no longer viable in the fast-moving markets of the Middle East. This blog explores how integrating Lean-Agile Procurement (LAP) with the Agile Product Operating Model (APOM) transforms procurement into a strategic enabler. Drawing on global case studies from Roche, Air France–KLM, and Swiss Railways, it shows how organisations achieve 400–800% faster procurement cycles, 80% cost savings, and up to 40% more innovative solutions. For UAE leaders in telecoms, aviation, energy, and government, this approach offers a proven path to faster delivery, stronger supplier ecosystems, and lasting competitive advantage.
