it is possible but you need to take in consideration the following factors

Establish a governing supply chain role governing role's purpose is to give direction and help align supply chain strategy with the company's overall strategy

Engage in collaborative strategic sourcingRather than consider strategic sourcing as just a matter for the purchasing department, best-in-class organizations get internal "customers" actively involved in the decision-making process

Establish appropriate levels of control and minimize risk Supply chain management policies and procedures should follow an appropriate sequence and structure, and it is important to review them frequently (if not constantly) and bring them up to date. Keeping them realistic and easy to understand and follow will help to ensure compliance.

assess the cost of change

for example shifting from looking only at the purchase price to understanding the total cost of owning or consuming a product or service. For significant spend area

I would advise a lot of soul searching before change of domain. One shall discuss in detail the reasons behind this wish. Would these reasons not be applicable in the targetted domain. Is one completely aware of the pros and cons of the targetted domain? Is one ready for the unseen results of his action which he might have to face even when he thinks he's fully prepared?
