Confidential advisory for CxOs, — grounded in the ideas of Profit from the Source
€500,000 | Online or in-person | English, Spanish or German | One client per year

Who this is for

This program is designed for top executives — CEOs, COOs, or CFOs — who believe that their suppliers hold untapped potential for growth, innovation, resilience, and sustainability.

Whether you are launching a transformation or challenging your executive team to think differently, this program offers you a confidential space to explore strategic levers beyond the usual playbook.

Objective

To help you rethink your company’s posture toward suppliers — and unlock competitive advantage by applying the principles of Profit from the Source.

You’ll explore how procurement can:

  • Drive profitable growth, not just cost reduction
  • Accelerate innovation and time-to-market
  • Reinforce resilience and ESG leadership
  • Act as a shaping force in corporate strategy

This is not consulting. This is strategic sparring with the originator — to help you think more clearly, challenge assumptions, and align your leadership team around a new paradigm.

What’s included

  • 12 to 18 private sessions over the course of 12 months
  • Unlimited access via voice note, email or short calls
  • Strategic narratives and framing
  • Applied examples from high-performing organizations
  • No competing clients during the engagement — only one client per year

You work directly with Christian Schuh, lead author of Profit from the Source, for candid, strategic conversations grounded in decades of experience. No surrogates. No intermediaries.

For leaders ready to outpace the competition by putting suppliers at the heart of business strategy.

Executive Reflection Partner

Helping top procurement leaders think more clearly and act more decisively.
€150,000 | Online Only | English, Spanish or German

Why CPOs choose this

The higher you rise, the harder it becomes to think clearly. CPOs today operate in a world of conflicting agendas, mounting pressure, and limited time. They must align internal stakeholders, manage strategic suppliers, lead large global teams — all while driving transformation. And yet, they’re often surrounded by people who agree, not those who challenge.

This retainer offers something rare: a neutral, experienced voice. Someone who helps you reflect, ask better questions, and see around corners — with practical insights drawn from the best in automotive, tech, and beyond.

The program is grounded in the ideas of The CPO — a novel written by Christian Schuh, based on real-world leadership dilemmas and strategic choices. As the lead author, he brings both intellectual clarity and deep personal experience to every conversation.

What you get

  • A trusted advisor for your highest-stakes decisions
  • 1–2 focused interactions per month via video
  • Sharp feedback on strategies, transformations, supplier moves, or team design
  • Clear, real-world examples from leading procurement teams and industries

Example conversations

  • “How do I get the CEO to back our reshoring strategy?”
  • “Can this supplier segmentation work in the boardroom?”
  • “Should I centralize category ownership — or double down on regions?”
  • “What should we prioritize when rolling out AI in procurement?”

Getting started

We begin with a 60-minute kickoff session to understand your context, your current priorities, and how to best support you. After that, access is ongoing and flexible — always adapted to your needs and rhythm.

This program is strictly limited to 2–3 clients at a time to ensure exclusivity and depth of support and is delivered exclusively by Christian Schuh — lead author of The CPO. You work directly with the originator. No surrogates. No junior trainers. Just candid, high-impact conversations shaped by three decades of advising CPOs at the world’s leading companies.
