The Hackett Group’s “The CPO Agenda: Procurement’s Key Issues in 2013” Research Report
Of all the Hackett Key Issues Studies conducted in the last five years, the 2013 edition shows the greatest year over- last change in priorities for both performance and capability-related issues.
Procurement executives expect to be extremely busy in the coming year supporting the enterprise focus on profitable growth. In response, they are working to expand the quantity and quality of their organization’s spend influence via sourcing, category management and increasingly, supplier relationship management.
Many of their priorities in the coming year will require greater cross-functional collaboration with business units, functional partners, Global Business Services groups and third parties. While priorities may vary based on individual enterprise strategies, in 2013 the overarching goal is to deliver more value without more resources.
