Beyond Spend Influence – How Procurement Can Lead the Enterprise by Transforming Supply Management
Procurement organizations must move at the speed of stakeholders, and this is a tall order in a pandemic and a volatile economy. Yet, this “agility” is often reactive, and procurement still continues to struggle in delivering more strategic impact beyond its core value proposition of driving cost/spend reductions, in managed spend categories.
Many are trying to touch more spend and “swim upstream” in the sourcing cycle, but the current pandemic has forced many firms to fundamentally rethink their value chains and their value propositions. This directly impacts procurement, but also applies to the “business of procurement” itself.
In this session, you’ll learn how others are upskilling their procurement services and capabilities to transform themselves — and the enterprise — in a more powerful approach than just traditional spend influence tactics.
