Real Procurement Transformation - Powerful, Sustaining - Paperback

by Alan Hustwick (Author)

Many publications and articles promote the significant benefits or value that a procurement team can bring to an organisation. Few explore how benefits were secured, whether they were one-off or delivered consistently over time, the nature of strategies deployed, whether there is lasting impact and recurrent benefit of commercial outcomes achieved, and most importantly, whether they align with company strategic direction.

Real Procurement Transformation explains what is required to provide and embed real and strategic procurement transformation, as well as the how-to through a defined methodology and structure, supported by practical advice, illustrations, and the experience of the author.

It will take hard work, change, adoption of new and different processes, and adoption of new technology. It will require a different mindset, but the outcome will be extremely rewarding. It will lift procurement to a top-performing and highly respected team, job satisfaction will increase, and traditional procurement practice will be replaced by a simplified framework.

Aside from the procurement profession, the book will also be of benefit to senior business leaders, as it provides a proven and systematic approach to transform procurement performance and grow enterprise shareholder value.
