Forget the Savings Number for 12 Months The CPO Mindset Shift
If procurement only speaks the language of cost savings, it will never be astrategic partner.
In this Proc N Roll: Track, former CPO Natasha Gurevich argues that real value looks different to every stakeholder — risk reduction for legal, speed to market for marketing, capacity assurance for supply chain — and that procurement leaders need to be brave enough to tell their teams, "Forget the savings number for 12 months. Just do the right thing for the business."
Conrad Smith shares how he stopped reporting savings to his CFO for nearly two years at Adobe, and the trio unpacks the three pillars required to shift from savings to value: talent, stakeholder relationships, and supplier relationships.
