What Exactly is the Procurement Excellence Function all about?

Presenting my next Vlog series on Supernegotiate. This took me a good 1.5 months or so to research (hence no videos)! I want to share my learnings on What exactly a Procurement Excellence function should do? Most of the Procurement Excellence function starts as a thought experiment but ends up as an admin function or merely a support function to churn reports and ad-hoc business analysis work!



It is because of weak value deliverables and a lack of strong use case implementations.




To create a successful Procurement Excellence setup, one has to develop a comprehensive collection of workstreams. I plan to talk in detail about 12 workstreams, namely:


1.) Cost Saving Opportunity Identification and Execution Management


2.) Negotiation Excellence


3.) Process Efficiency Improvements


4.) KPI definition and Performance Benchmarks


5.) Cost Model Innovations


6.) Supplier Management


7.) Digitization and Adoption


8.) Market Intelligence


9.) Machine Learning and Data Science Projects


10.) Category Strategies


11.) Process Audit, Compliance and Backtesting


12.) Sustainability



As you can see, the Procurement Excellence function is not about Procurement digitization alone too.



Busy next 3 months for super packed content! Let's go!
