Expensive consultants, new organizational structures, a different place within the organization, smart systems and processes... we are busy within Procurement trying to perfect the organization. This is logical because we are dealing with major challenges. Obstacles in the supply chain, price explosions, sustainability, technological and geopolitical developments, and so on. Nevertheless, it remains difficult to establish a connection with the business on an equal level. With the aforementioned themes, it seems crucial for the organization that Procurement also plays a role in shaping the company's strategy to assess the opportunities and threats in the supplier market properly. Leadership is the magic word. Only through the right behavior can you reach the position necessary to truly influence from Procurement. Procurement organizations are often recognized as Ferraris, equipped with all the buttons, yet Procurement still isn't allowed on the highway.
