In the potential assessment phase, we identified a huge savings potential. In the end, we achieved double-digit percentage savings in some categories which was more than expected. It feels great when we exceed the customer's expectations!

What is a forward-leaning procurement function?

A forward-leaning CPO drives continuous development enabling procurement to continuously contribute to the company’s competitiveness and profitability.

A mature, modern and efficient procurement function contributes to a greater extent to better results and profitability than its immature counterpart. Efficient procurement delivers tangible results, contributing to profitability, which in turn leads to higher returns for shareholders. A modern procurement organization demonstrates a high ROI – delivering higher value with less staff.

Common characteristics

Significative of a mature and high-performing purchasing function is capability, competence, processes and structural capital, a high degree of digitization as well as focus on total cost of ownership. More specifically this means:

Competence and HR-development: Invest in high-performing individuals and develop them to handle new tasks and expectations. Make sure you have access to the optimal skillset and resources at any given moment.
Processes and structural capital: Define clear processes with a high degree of automation and digital support for both the procurement function and business stakeholder. Drive change through culture change, cross-functional collaboration and decision-making. Continuously identify gaps and make necessary improvements.
Digitalization: Be data driven in order to make fact based decisions. Digital tools free up time, eliminate repetitive manual tasks and minimize errors, allowing procurement to focus on value-creating activities by leverage technology to drive efficiencies.
Focus on total cost: Focus on total cost of ownership rather than line-item savings. Furthermore, focus on developing structural capital and competence, and adopt a strategic approach through category management.
