Procurement represents more than 50% of a typical business’s costs. Yet many companies still struggle with old-fashioned, functionally siloed Procurement processes that make them ill-equipped to take advantage of Procurement’s profit potential. This is especially inexcusable during periods of recession or economic downturn when every penny counts.

In Profit from Procurement: Add 30% to Your Bottom Line by Breaking Down Silos, Procurement experts and consultants Alex Klein, Simon Whatson, and Jose Oliveira deliver an incisive and fresh take on Procurement and the unique ability it has to work cross-functionally to optimize costs across the organization. The book highlights the shortcomings of a traditional approach to Procurement and demonstrates how to rebuild Procurement to be a sought-after partner in the executive suite, rather than a neglected back-office function.

You’ll learn how to add upwards of 30% to your EBITDA by setting up Procurement as a truly cross-functional commercial change agent. You’ll discover how to plan for your company’s Procurement transformation, how to redesign and reskill the function for a more strategic role, and how to smoothly navigate across your business’s budget-holder functions as you help them to right-size their cost base.

Perfect for ambitious CPOs but equally relevant to CEOs, COOs, and CFOs, Profit from Procurement should sit on the bookshelf of any professional looking to drive a major impact through Procurement.
