Rising Above The Pendulum Swing of Savings

In collaboration with Art of Procurement, this white paper explores how to break the cycle of short-term cost-cutting in procurement by developing enduring savings plans for lasting success and value generation.

Procurement frequently experiences a continuous cycle of cost-saving efforts, where the emphasis on reducing expenses varies due to internal business demands or external influences such as global economic conditions and supply chain reliability.

This impulsive strategy often results in a temporary emphasis on cost-cutting, which may undermine the broader, long-term value that procurement is capable of delivering.

In collaboration with Art of Procurement, we investigated the elements that fuel this cycle and how procurement can overcome it by developing enduring savings plans aimed at achieving lasting success and value generation.
