Description
Your procurement strategy is limiting your profits. Multiply them by making procurement an integral part of your corporate strategy
Profit from Procurement: Add 30% to Your Bottom Line by Breaking Down Silos delivers an insightful, compelling, and fresh take on a subject that typically comprises 50% of a business' overall costs: procurement. Alex Klein, Jose Oliveira, and Simon Whatson, leaders of the world's largest devoted procurement consultancy, highlight the dysfunctions of traditional procurement and supply-chain processes and demonstrate how rebuilding them to include cross-functional procurement teams early in business processes will help businesses maximize EBITDA.
The book offers readers a practical and concrete roadmap to fully integrating and optimizing a company's procurement processes, creating a less siloed, more coherent part of daily business. Readers will learn about:
* How to plan their company's procurement transformation
* How to ensure their team possesses the skills necessary for the coming change
* Navigating the change from a siloed, inefficient procurement practice that is only utilized at the end of business processes, to one that is integrated early to maximize savings.
* How to ensure that procurement efficiencies are reflected in bottom-line profit
Perfect for C-suite executives and procurement professionals at companies of all sizes, Profit from Procurement also belongs on the bookshelves of every employee and leader tasked with company operations and profit strategy.
