Moving from Cost Optimization to Value Generation Through Procurement Transformation
Traditionally, procurement was considered a cost center but, of late, procurement has become a strategic business function within enterprises. As a result, the role of a Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) is evolving from reducing costs to maintaining supply chain resilience in addition to deriving higher value from their sourcing and procurement function. The priority is not new; however, varied supply chain disruptions are bringing it to the forefront. Further, organizations are engaging domain experts and investing in AI, automation, and analytics to generate higher value from the procurement function. They are increasingly leveraging service provider support to parallelly transform people, processes, and technology. As a result, procurement business process transformation deals have grown by over 15% between March 2022 and March 2023. Both demand- and supply-side trends are covered in Avasant’s Procurement Business Process Transformation 2023 Market Insights™ and Procurement Business Process Transformation 2023 RadarView™, respectively.
