Retooling of Procurement – Job Far from Done?
We've seen the global economy in turmoil, markets on a roller coaster ride, and geopolitical political upheaval. On one hand it has usurped our way of living, on the other it has resulted in businesses across the world taking a hit—in ways that were often hard to anticipate.?
There's no question about it: it's been a rough couple of years for business. Now finally when the demand has revived on back of consumption, the supply chains remain fragile and in many cases broken. Companies are staring at an unenviable case of concurrent feast and famine!?
So, if your procurement teams, the unsung heroes of pandemic, feel like they've been entrusted with the responsibility of doing more with less, and balancing growth with stability, amidst the great resignation, you're not alone!??
But there is always an opportunity within adversity.?
With the ever-broadening scope of influence of Procurement teams towards driving value for their organizations, as well as reducing overall risk, building resilience into their supply chains, and establishing sustainability goals, the CPOs have the attention of the Boards like never before!
What Is Growth in a World That Is Full of Uncertainty??
So, what do we do? Well, first things first: let's remember that we're not alone in this. We may not be able to control the circumstances out there, but what we can control is how we move forward from here—and that includes recognizing the power of community.?
?We’ve been hard at work to provide a platform for a community of procurement and finance professionals to share ideas and exchange success stories about how to overcome these challenges and thrive as best as possible under the current circumstances (and beyond!).?
So, what does growth look like in a world that is full of uncertainty??We don't have a crystal ball, but we do have a lot of experience.??
