Overview

This book is an in-depth look at how to strategize, evaluate, and approach the wildly exciting world of digital procurement. More than any other enterprise function, procurement has grown from back-office cost control to strategic business partner. Today's procurement practitioners are at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility, making change by directing where and how enterprises spend their money.

Within these pages you'll find a blueprint for approaching the complexity of procurement and making smart technology investments. You'll also become acquainted with the significant organizational implications of digital done well, and with success measures, watch-outs, and innovations in the offing. Taken together, a strong digital procurement capability will enable businesses to not only be prepared, but to thrive when confronted with tomorrow's disruption. At Kearney, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for a more sustainable world. As part of this mission, we recommend purchasing Trade wars, pandemics, and chaos in its e-book format wherever possible.
