If you’re stepping into a CPO role and want immediate direction on what to do next, download the checklist and get your first 100 days mapped out in minutes.

Written by a former CPO, it expands the 30-60-90 day framework into a practical, real-world guide covering strategic alignment, quick wins, team and talent, stakeholder management, governance and sourcing priorities.
If you want more than a list, if you want context, sequencing, and clarity on what not to waste time on, the full playbook is your next step.
Theory is helpful. Experience is better.
We’ve gathered lessons from procurement leaders who have navigated their own first 100 days: what worked, what surprised them and what they would do differently.
The checklist is split into three time blocks: 30, 60 and 90 days, and covers what to tackle across strategy, people, sourcing, relationships and risk. It’s fast to use, easy to share and built for real-world pressure.
