The time is now: Ten ways to deliver smarter, better procurement

Procurement had been evolving into a more strategic role before the pandemic hit but, after helping organisations survive the crisis, the function has more credit and more attention from executives than ever before.

If CPOs are to firmly establish procurement as a strategic partner in the business now is the time to act. As economies and markets stabilise, there is the inevitable temptation to slip into old habits and it would be disastrous for procurement, the people who work in procurement and the organisation itself if the function reverted to its old back office role.

Read this CIPS Download report, produced in partnership with Coupa, to learn ten best practices that will help you deliver smarter, better procurement. In a world where there is no such thing as ‘business as usual’, procurement needs to seize the day.
