Cirtuo

Do you remember the last time you took the wrong ramp onto the highway and how it made you feel? Most people instantly know that they took a wrong turn and hope that the next exit is not too far off. Unfortunately, our brain doesn’t experience the same stress when taking the wrong turn in developing category strategies. Category strategies in Procurement are a methodical approach for defining the best way to buy goods or services for their business. Done right, they help companies align business requirements with market realities to leverage market opportunities and mitigate risks. Done wrong, they might lead us down the wrong road.

Converting a procurement category  strategy into actionable, value-driving initiatives and measures is a critical milestone in the category strategy development process.

The lack of trust from senior stakeholders is the main reason why procurement hasn’t gained a seat at the proverbial table. It stems from overemphasizing cost-savings instead of taking in the bigger picture and context of business requirements and objectives.

Imagine driving through an unfamiliar area without a map and no destination in mind. And yet, many procurement teams are navigating a complex business landscape without a strategy. Driving without a map can also result in unexpected experiences.
