      <image:title>About Us - Rowena Ward</image:title>
      <image:caption>My journey into commercial contracting began with developing and implementing procurement systems, quickly realising that procurement as a business needed to change before technology could make a difference. At SPS I’ve specialised in working with our customers to understand their current contracting arrangements, working with them to develop achievable action plans to improve their people, systems and processes. “At SPS, I’m most proud of the work we’ve done in establishing the importance of understanding third party spend and working with solution providers to introduce tools and techniques such as ProClass, Contracts Registers and Diagnostics to Procurement.”</image:caption>
