Making Procurement a Services Spend Ally
SPEND MATTERS COMPASS SERIES
2010 Volume 1: The Services Spending Revolution: Gaining Visibility, Control and Saving
Procurement organizations that market themselves effectively drive greater identified and implemented savings across both simple and complex services categories. More important than getting initial savings to stick, companies that successfully market procurement will succeed in creating a virtuous cycle that sparks
enthusiasm for new and existing programs, building upon initial momentum. Experience holds
that winning over the business requires highlighting internal and external success stories
and making best practices real by showing stakeholders what positive services procurement
change will mean to them (e.g., holding suppliers more accountable, overall compliance
to policies and pricing, etc.) This not only helps justify investments for new and emerging
programs but also helps build tighter coordination between units and functions.
