Centralising procurement and spreading a cost-conscious culture in your organisation

Just having a dedicated department doesn’t make your organisation aware of the benefits that procurement and supply can bring. You need to build cultural understanding, embed good practice, and tackle resistance and “outlaw” behaviours. If you want to raise the profile of procurement and supply in your organisation, what are the critical first steps? And what are the main obstacles you’ll need to navigate? In these two first-hand presentations, you’ll hear from a global media group that centralised procurement to gain huge operational efficiency and enable people to “think differently” about procurement; and a pioneering technology company that’s embarking on a programme to create a “cost-conscious culture”.
