The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of Supply Chain’s Sourcing organization to identify operational and cultural strengths and risks that could impact Sourcing’s organizational effectiveness. Our report identified strengths within Sourcing related to (1) teamwork, (2) direct management support for 3 of 4 departments, (3) perceptions of an ethical culture, and (4) customer support. However, we also identified issues that, if left unresolved, could increase the risk that Sourcing will be unable to effectively meet its objective in the future. These risks related to (1) alignment, (2) the selection process, (3) management behaviors, and (4) work management.
