SpendHQ’s Post

What an engaging and insightful dialogue we had during Fairmarkit's Beyond Cost Savings Webinar last week! Our expert panelists Manuel Melo, MBA, Natasha Gurevich, and Steve Reavis explored the evolving role of CPOs and Procurement leaders in driving profit margin growth, especially as companies focus more on efficiency in 2024 and beyond. Here are three strategic ways procurement leaders can position their team as thought leaders within their organization to help drive efficiency: ✅ Speak the C-suite's language - Find ways to align procurement projects with top issues concerning the organization's executive and board members. ✅ Build partnerships - Don’t wait for other departments to surface problems—seek out peers, listen to their priorities, and position yourself as the trusted partner. ✅ Find metrics that matter - Enhance credibility by focusing on innovative ways to measure value, such as speed to market and working capital efficiencies.
