What is PROFIT FROM PROCUREMENT about?

PROFIT FROM PROCUREMENT: How to Add 30% to Your Bottom Line by Breaking Down Silos, a new book published by Wiley in April 2021, delivers an insightful, compelling, and fresh take on a subject that typically comprises 50% of a business’s total costs: Procurement!

Efficio's Alex Klein – COO and Co-Founder, Simon Whatson – VP, and Jose Oliveira – VP highlight the limitations of the traditional, functionally siloed approach to Procurement and demonstrate how significant EBITDA gains can be made by lifting Procurement out of the back office and enabling it to fundamentally reset a company’s cost base. The authors deliver practical strategies and examples from their work with the world’s top organisations to help you unleash your company’s profit potential.

What will this event cover?

Philip Ideson, Founder and Managing Director of Art of Procurement will be facilitating this event. Authors Alex, Simon, and Jose will explain the book’s origin, the writing process, key themes, and why it’s such an important tool for Procurement leaders and professionals. They will also discuss the following key takeaways from the book:

Why is there an enduring need for strategic Procurement – during a pandemic, as well as in more normal times?
Why cross functional collaboration is essential for success
Why savings mastery should be the first key step for Procurement and what it can aspire to after that

The final part of this event will be open to answer your questions to the authors.
