Accelerated Savings Program

How serious are you and your organisation about delivering savings to the bottom line?

Many organisations find that there are often internal issues that do not allow them to take full advantage of procurements capability to support the business in delivering savings within their indirect spend categories.

These internal issues may include:

Time - resources being ‘time poor’
Knowledge – ‘information starved’, being a lack of knowledge across the category, suppliers, industry and/or the saving levers
Focus - the procurement resources, skills and talents are focused only on direct categories
Starting - don’t know where or how to start a savings program

Every organisation will have savings opportunities within their indirect spend, often they have been entitled to the opportunities for years and will continue to be entitled to them in the future, without even be aware that they exist. The Procurement Strategy Council (Cost reduction series.) states that ‘Effective management of indirect spend is an under utelised source of economic leverage. Reduction of spend with suppliers carries a multiplier effect straight to bottom line profits.’
