Join our upcoming webinar on March 25, where Darren, Edwin, and William will discuss: ? The most common excuses for avoiding assessments—and how to overcome them ? How to turn assessment findings into actionable, quick-win improvements ?

Speed is everything in procurement, right? Get the contract signed. Get the system live. Get the savings booked. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: most procurement transformations fail because they move too fast in the wrong ways. We NEED to be: ? Pressure-testing operating models before rolling out tech ? Aligning procurement with actual business objectives ? Making sure people, process, and technology are in sync before scaling Too many teams rush implementation only to spend years fixing what should’ve been designed correctly in the first place. Instead of rework, missed adoption, and frustrated stakeholders, what if procurement slowed down strategically—just long enough to build something that actually works? ??
