Alex Klein, Simon Whatson and Jose Oliveira, leaders at the world's largest dedicated Procurement consultancy, highlight the limitations of the traditional, functionally siloed approach to Procurement, and demonstrate how significant EBITDA gains can be made by lifting Procurement out of the back office and enabling it to fundamentally reset a company's cost base.

* Plan their company's Procurement transformation
* Reskill teams for the coming change
* Reposition the Procurement function to become the driver of cross-functional change
* Integrate new topics such as digitalization and sustainability into their Procurement roadmaps
* Ensure that Procurement efficiencies are fully reflected in bottom-line profits
