In today’s ever changing and complex business environment, sourcing and procurement plays an increasingly critical role in delivering strategic impacts. Successful sourcing and procurement capabilities address today’s needs and have the foresight to plan for tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. To do this, leaders need to see and understand the inefficiencies that exist throughout the entire procurement lifecycle, quantify the value of addressing these areas and then design and implement pragmatic solutions for sustainable benefits.
