As the procurement function shifts from being tactical to the strategic, a deeper focus on category management is required to achieve breakthrough value. To transition to a strategic organization partner, it is vital to develop strong, long-term category strategies aligned with corporate and stakeholder objectives.
Category management for the future requires skilled managers, innovative processes and efficient tools and templates to drive success. When addressed as a change management effort, such a strategic transformation can have far-reaching benefits for organizations in terms of total cost of ownership, risk management, supplier innovation and capability development.
