The illusion of control in indirect spend: A survey of  European CPOs and CFOs

Achieving true control over indirect spend remains a persistent challenge for most organisations.

In our latest webinar, Richard Smothers, non-executive director at Greene King and former CFO of Greene King and Mothercare, joined host Adi Bijedic, Director at Efficio, to share practical, experience-led insights on how procurement and finance leaders can turn the tide on unmanaged spend and safeguard business value.

During the session, we explored:

• How leading businesses are clarifying accountability and embedding ownership into governance to avoid the “illusion of control”
• Real-world examples of how organisations are improving visibility and aligning spend with strategic goals
• The crucial difference between a meaningful cost-saving pipeline and a long list of unprioritised ideas, and what effective execution looks like in practice
• Why indirect spend has become a board-level issue, and how greater visibility can strengthen decision-making and overall business performance
