Disruptive Procurement Winning in a Dgtl World by Michael F. Strohmer

Disruptive Procurement is a radical new approach to creating value and innovation by challenging the status quo in the entire product and service line. It requires going far beyond conventional desktop procurement to understand the value the company brings to its customers as well as the value that suppliers bring to the company.

By combining knowledge of these two dimensions, companies become far more flexible and they move closer to disrupting the environment in ways that create value. To move toward Disruptive Procurement, companies need a holistic view and a complete new set of capabilities for staff in marketing, sales, R&D, manufacturing, innovation, and, of course, procurement.

This will only happen if procurement is fully backed by the Chief Executive Officer and companies embrace dgtl tools that will help make procurement slimmer and smarter.
