Checkers to Chess: How Spend Management is enabling Procurement to become a strategic business partner today

The sprawling landscape of suppliers and the sharp focus on optimized spend has shaken up the role of Procurement today. Previously perceived as tactical, Procurement teams that are moving the needle are transformative. What does that mean? It means they’re partners to the business. Not just getting stuff done, but helping to make impactful decisions, bringing stakeholders together and collaborating through data-supported decision making and smart, scalable processes.

But how do these leading teams get past the ever-growing backlog of requests, tedious processes, lack of shared data and systems, and seemingly uphill battle of stakeholder alignment? In this Digital Transformation in Action session, Productiv highlights how their clients are creating winning processes by:

• Enabling repeatable, scalable processes around automation
• Establishing a single source of truth with trusted data
• Aligning stakeholders with increased visibility into decision making

Discussion hosted by Productiv’s KR Barron, a Procurement leader, and Ziff Davis’ Charlie Blumberg
