It’s critical to staying ahead. Especially for the procurement function, steeped in old habits and long-standing processes that could be slowing valuable progress. Yet with so many disrupting factors facing the function, it’s difficult to know where to start in transforming to a more modern way of working that brings greater value to the business.
