Description

The Global Procurement Leader’s Handbook is a practical application manual for procurement leaders of companies that do business around the world. The book provides a detailed, step by step framework for building a world-class procurement function and achieving consistent and sustainable improvement. Combining feasible strategies, effective tools, and insights based on years of experience, the authors give an explanation for what it means to lead procurement with best practices; how to gain organizational commitment and engagement; how to be seen as a strategic leader in the organization and not merely as a reinforce function; and specific how one can develop talent within the procurement function. The book begins with a comprehensive (and highly confidential) assessment of a company’s readiness to embrace world-class procurement and whether the role of its procurement leader is positioned for success. In short, it helps you make a decision whether to accept this position whether it is offered to you. Once you are in the functional leadership role, you and your leadership team are able to develop a comprehensive plan for Procurement. The plan is addressed in three parts.
