Even companies with modest direct-emissions footprints can make a global impact on decarbonization by implementing nine initiatives in their supply chains.
To optimize their cost-cutting efforts, smart companies are turning to their suppliers.
Category strategy can improve cost savings, decrease supplier risks, enhance innovation and flexibility, and heighten the influence of the procurement office throughout the company. Here’s how.
Digital can help procurement teams gain a much deeper understanding of their purchases—and cut costs significantly.
Deploying technology solutions along with conventional best practices can greatly mitigate the risk of future failures.
Making the best use of new technologies in procurement is not only a question of selecting the right tools. It's about how people drive digital transformation efforts and make change happen.

Conventional approaches alone can’t do it. New digital solutions must also play a role.
Contrary to popular belief, the most successful digitization efforts do not begin with technology decisions. Focus instead on business and procurement objectives.
