What is contemporary procurement?
The emergence of procurement as a profession…
Supply Management, unheard of in the 1970s, core to today’s organisation; as a concept it was born at the beginning of the 1980s.
So why is that… well predominantly due to the rise of professional managers (1960s on) and the focus on annularity as a consequence of the principle of Shareholder Value Maximisation in the 1980s
Looking back the trends this created are easy to spot:
•The 1980s was about the demands of just-in-time
•The 1990s it was all about outsourcing and offshoring
•The 2000s it was the emergence of IT solutions
•The 2010s thus far has been all about risk
built in the previous 3 decades!

Procurement professionals need to get savvyprofessional; polished; intelligent; respected; influential; persuasive; visionary; strategic; sharp; global; collaborative; executive; business savvy. These are what procurement and business leaders will expect of the future supply professional.
A new definition of ‘expert’a significant characteristic of the new supply professional is the extent and depth of his or her knowledge; they will become “students of their industry”. They will know everything, from the science, economics, law and politics of their supply markets on a global scale.
The battle for Talentthere is considerable opinion regarding the talent pipeline. Is it too sparsely populated to meet the demand for strategic supplier-facing professionals that will develop this decade? The outcome will be intense competition to attract the best and brightest but on their terms.
The skill sets of procurement professionals must change!

Tech SavvyThey will be professional; polished; intelligent; respected; influential; persuasive; visionary; strategic; sharp; global; and collaborative.
Business Savvy
Procurement professionals will know everything, from the science, economics, law and politics of their supply markets on a global scale.
Students of Industry
Procurement professionals will generate consensus around how to measure risk, and access standardised, readily available information for operational risk assessment.
Risk Aware
Procurement professionals need to be data experts, able to see major trends and important takeaways in a mass of data at a glance.
Analytics
Procurement professionals will deliver strategic impact, in organisations they just won’t be part of a large, discrete, enterprise-level function any more.
Enablers
Procurement professionals will focus on profitability, but will they concentrate on cost savings or revenue growth to get there. These people will make and take that decision
Executive
Procurement professionals will share risks and rewards in contracts, and will accept greater risk in relationships so as not to de-motivate suppliers.

DifferentiationValue
Value is difficult to define precisely moreover it is used frequently, loosely and in a number of contexts. In Supply management value has the following connotations: • Value is relative to an alternative – value cannot be judged in isolation.
• Value is composite and decomposable – value can be analysed into a set of value drivers – for example - time, cost, quality and service
• Value can be used in several contexts – in B2B relationships it tends to be economic in nature, but it is essentially qualitative the emotional, environmental and social value may also be considered.
• Value is measureable/quantifiable – economic value might be see as revenue generation , or cost savings; but other aspects have their own forms of measures such as Intellectual Property Rights.
Value in the context of procurement
“The customer never buys a product. By definition the customer buys the satisfaction of a want. He buys value.” Value is in essence, utility, i.e. the total satisfaction derived from a good or service.
Value: procurement’s latest game changer
Is it time to re-evaluate strategic procurement and look to establish Value Procurement?
Today procurement professionals are under considerable pressure to deliver value adding business performance – but what might this entail?
It is no longer enough to build a supply management capability that is efficient, demand-driven and transparent – perhaps this requires a market facing mind-set
Procurement must offer the organisation something that is value adding; a new supply management where the strategic scope of procurement’s value is delivered via – innovation; a networked function and focus
Will value procurement will be category management’s legacy?
Today procurement leaders face a dichotomy: Cost (reduction) - v –Value (creation)
CPOs have think hard about how well they understand the market
CPOs must be truly market facing; not focusing only on their internal clients and stakeholders;
Procurement has reached a ‘tipping point’
CPOs must create an equilibrium in their focus between the business and the market it serves
This is where the next big windfalls will come from, the next big gains, the next competitive advantage.
10 things the best procurement organisations do!
Leverage the full capability of their supply marketsThey help their organisation safely harness the power of supply markets to glean additional value from external spending – gate opener as well as gate keeper. Value can mean spending less, but also it means getting more utility from spend; so you influence (not just support) the business strategy.
Have flexible rather than rigid operating modelsAdapts service delivery and transformation model to a diverse set of budget holders (functional partners) in the value chain rather than fixating on how to organise and control an n-step procurement process.
Create clear value propositions that are understood and valued by stakeholdersThey create a very clear value proposition and “brand” that can be understood, articulated, and championed by the spend owners themselves. Performs “customer management” processes to ensure that they’re getting most value both from the suppliers, as well as Procurement.
Engage in business spend planning, not just “spent analysis”Work with the business on “spend planning” as part of financial/operations planning and budgeting, gaining earliest influence, and providing forward-looking economic spend/supply information rather than forensic “spent analysis” activity – “post mortem” strategizing.
Explicitly align to the business through a project portfolio planThey “join the dots” in tying metrics, processes, and capabilities to their value proposition (rather than working on them individually). There are many disjointed activities within the Procurement Project Portfolios of organisations.
10 things the best procurement organisations do! Protect the business from supply risk and from itselfUses formal risk management and market intelligence techniques to provide the business not only with visibility into risk, but also with a governance structure and process to gain consensus with Finance /Business on which risks to treat and how to best treat them systematically - often with limited funds.
Shift the game from talent to knowledgeMoves from a purely talent management model (“throw the best people at it”) to a knowledge management model by:
1) shifting from current FTE staffing models to more flexible/variable resourcing models and 2) providing better IT support for better capture and re-use of knowledge/intelligence.
Turn data into information, intelligence, knowledge and insightUse information management as a weapon to transcend basic ERP/e-sourcing to a more thoughtful information architecture that helps manage extended supply chains and external intelligence.
Measure suppliers, but also tap their hearts, minds and budgetsNot only measures the suppliers through automated scorecards, but works collaboratively with suppliers to reduce total supply costs (not just supplier margins) and create innovations that will deliver economic value. Around not just when you most need them, but also when they most need you.
Uses P2P transactional processes as an asset –not a liabilityProvides not just “hands free” processes to make life easier for Procurement, but rather a failsafe “guided buying” experience to channel employees to preferred buy-pay channels. This implies integration between P2P and sourcing as well as a deliberate “P2P transactional channel optimisation” methodology (i.e., think about applying Lean to the P2P “transaction factory”).
