Profit from Procurement: A 30% increase in results through cross-functional collaboration provides an insightful, convincing, and fresh perspective on a topic that typically accounts for 50% of a company's total costs: procurement. Alex Klein, Simon Whatson, and Jose Oliveira, leaders of the world's largest procurement consultancy, highlight the limitations of the traditional, functionally isolated approach to procurement. They demonstrate how significant EBITDA gains can be achieved by removing procurement from the back office and enabling it to fundamentally change a company's cost structure. The authors provide practical strategies and examples from their work with leading global companies to help you unlock your organization's profit potential.

The book offers readers a practical and concrete roadmap for optimizing, integrating, and utilizing a company's procurement capabilities to create a less isolated and more effective function. Readers will learn:

• how to plan the transformation of procurement in their organization;
• how to ensure their team possesses the necessary skills for the upcoming changes;
• how to reposition procurement to become a leader in cross-functional change;
• how to integrate new topics such as digitalization and sustainability into their procurement plans;
• how to ensure that efficiency gains in procurement fully translate into profits.
