Part 1: Current perceptions of the indirect procurement function.
This whitepaper, which is the first in a series of three, explores what procurement can do to redefine how it’s seen 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.
