Digital procurement business transformation
Executive Learning Community; Turning Technology into Business
RegisterDigitizing a company or organization is an investment that pays for itself. Indeed by saving cost and time, from which then stem other advantages like better control, better insights into processes and better collaboration internally and externally – altogether leading to an increase in efficiency, resiliency, productivity and ROI.
We can safely assume that companies that have always ruled ahead and have already given shape to their digital transformation for a longer stretch of years all have increased productivity and competitiveness enormously. Others that perhaps considered digitization as ‘another risk’ however are now increasingly confronted with so-called ‘burning platforms’, which then become manifest in for example payment arrears with suppliers, late delivery of goods/services and/or non-compliance with contracts.
Digital transformation gives the procurement professional the space at last to make a better connection with the business and the suppliers and therefore to present a better procurement scorecard to all stakeholders. More they know about procurement value-add, better the engagement.Andries Feikema, Global Director Procurement Transformation Royal DSM
