Services spend management often falls into one of two categories: a few highly strategic partnerships that are well managed and… everything else.
If ‘everything else’ services spend is left to follow the path of least resistance, procurement is leaving behind a huge opportunity to increase value and mitigate risk.
Addressing unmanaged services spend at scale is a massive opportunity to impact the business - and for procurement to elevate themselves in the eyes of executive leadership and decision makers at the same time.
Join Cheri Vander Moren, Lead Indirect Sourcing Manager at Amway, Mark Sawicki, Senior Vice President at Guidant Global, andBen De Wulf, Client Solutions Architect at Guidant Global, for a conversation that will address every stage of the services spend management maturity journey:
Who should own the value creation process associated with services?
How can procurement get stakeholders to ‘buy in’ up front?
How to ensure visibility and oversight and then establish a program that will continue to have impact over time
