Value Generation

Transforming procurement and enabling cross-functional value opportunities.

Strategic Sourcing

Value Generation is about finding value through procurement. It encompasses developing and executing an approach that continuously improves and assesses the purchasing activities of an organization while extracting the best possible value. Value can be defined as market related, risk reduction, tax efficiency and efficiency savings, all of which are captured within strategic sourcing and are an essential component of the journey to procurement excellence.
