Susan identifies common issues like duplicate suppliers, incorrect categorizations, typos, and discrepancies in language and unit measurements, all of which can hinder effective procurement processes. She stresses the importance of everyone in the procurement chain, from assistants to CPOs, being aware of and addressing dirty data.
