If the last economic downturn in the early 2000’s taught us anything, it’s that organisations who are able to exploit adversity to create a gap between them and their competition will come out of the recession much stronger. As an element of this, it’s clear that those organisations which consider supply management as a truly strategic function will outperform the status quo.
Many believe that this latest downturn will leave a lasting legacy on the procurement function, moving it to the corporate foreground and providing some procurement leaders with a seat at the boardroom table. You, whether a leader of a team or a manager of a spend category, have an opportunity to not only help your company emerge victorious from this period of austerity but also sustain procurement’s recently-won position as a core function in your company and exceed your own career goals.
