The Procurement Leader

 

The new requirements surrounding ESG and other regulatory requirements present a unique opportunity for procurement to demonstrate its value.

But it is also forcing us to revisit a long-standing issue: procurement professionals are overwhelmed with manual tasks, leaving little room for value-creating activities.

ESG is just one of many important elements in the procurement process, and addressing it in isolation misses the bigger picture. With your workforce already stretched to full capacity, how can you take on additional responsibilities?

A key insight behind the development of Capsulate is the critical need for systemic improvement and effective knowledge management in procurement. This allows procurement teams to not only increase efficiency, but also to make informed, data-driven decisions that align with strategic goals, fostering long-term growth and adaptability.

 

Procurement leaders must go beyond immediate issues to develop strategies that address the broader, more complex needs of the business, which can be overwhelming​
