Description
"Procurement transformation is more than just a response to shifting times; it's an opportunity to reshape the very foundation of how organizations operate. While the journey may seem complex, this book offers a comprehensive roadmap to success." --William Hatzichristos, Founder, SourceNow.Pro "This book is packed with practical insights and a forward-thinking approach to identify where the critical barriers exist and how to navigate them." --Anthony Taitt, Assistant Professor of Professional Practice, Department of Supply Chain Management, Rutgers Business School "This book is crucial for anyone involved in the procurement transformation process. It addresses the obstacles that block success and is essential for organizations to realize the full benefits of their investments and efforts." --Katie Smith, Vice President Procurement, PRIDE Industries "Procurement transformation projects failed 20 years ago and still fail today. Companies are running through the same motions, not taking time to plan for a flexible foundation, so everything stacked on top fails. Does this sound like the textbook definition of insanity? It should, and to resolve this, you need to dive into this book." --Mike Cadieux, Founder of Procurement Foundry "This book includes practical insights to illuminate the critical clean-up steps needed to break free from outdated structures and create a procurement function ready to accelerate transformation." --Elisabeth Schlag-Lawrence, Managing Partner, CatalystProcurement
