Part 2: Why do businesses struggle with effectively managing indirect procurement?
Access: Part 1 |
Our first whitepaper, in this series of three, closely examined the quantitative research data surrounding the current perceptions of the indirect procurement function. This whitepaper examines the qualitative data gathered throughout the research and explores what procurement can do to redefine how it’s perceived by the organization.
The principal goals of the research were to identify:
- Organizations’ attitudes, specifically amongst finance and procurement professionals, towards the indirect procurement function
- The current role that indirect procurement plays and the desired future role of the indirect procurement function
- Business perceptions of the value currently being delivered from this aspect of procurement
- The benefits senior stakeholders are seeking from the indirect procurement function
- Insights into the ways in which indirect procurement needs to develop within the organisation
- The current and planned usage of procurement outsourcing The research
was conducted through interviews with 120 Senior Executives in Continental
Europe, UK and the US, with half coming from Procurement and the other half
from Finance.
