DISMANTLE OUTDATED SILOS
Market Dojo
September 04, 2023
Procurement is often seen as a back-office function that is responsible for buying goods and services. However, the last few years have shown the business world that procurement can play a much more strategic role in an organisation. But, for procurement to have a ‘seat at the table’ and be seen as driving real business value, it must challenge preconceptions and dismantle outdated silos.

This means building relationships with people in other departments, focusing on user-centric processes and managing the transition through effective communications.
