How can you help your procurement department become trusted advisors during an important business venture such as a merger or acquisition (M&A)? This presentation will identify key near-term and long-term opportunities, process and scale improvements, and will recommend analytics from the CEO’s perspective that are required to ensure a successful merger or acquisition. We consider important factors such as: the required information for a purchasing department to perform due diligence; the short- and long-term opportunities for savings post-merger; as well as typical CEO goals for spend savings and supplier behavior. We will discuss how to drive ROI through combined company analytics, contract visibility and supplier innovation. Participants who are exposed to M&A will find this session particularly useful and can expect to take away tips and best practice suggestions around this important business growth initiative.
