WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF PROCUREMENT
Imagine it's the year 2020. Procurement has evolved so much that you barely recognize it. Its functions have been decentralized â or outsourced! â leaving leadership to focus on very different things. Job descriptions have changed dramatically. What's more, suppliers seem to have infiltrated the organization!

CEOs need strategic insights on how to set the vision and direct their franchise to take advantage of the fintech opportunity without creating too much disruption with clients, staff and the bottom line. Information is pouring in from all directions on fintech and it has become difficult to adopt the right strategy in a fragmented evolving marketplace providing many options.
This session will provide an unbiased, no BS summary for non-technical CEOs ready to lead their franchise in the new fintech era while minimizing the long term hold that legacy core IT suppliers have on them.
This document summarizes key insights from a McKinsey presentation on customer journey analytics and big data. It finds that companies are storing large amounts of data but few know how to extract value from it. Analyzing customer journeys rather than individual touchpoints provides more predictive insights into customer satisfaction and churn. Mapping important customer journeys in an industry reveals opportunities to improve the customer experience and reduce costs. The presentation provides an example of a retail bank that identified ways to decrease service costs and improve customer satisfaction by analyzing its customer journey data.

A Portfolio Strategy To Execute Digital TransformationCapgemini
Â
Senior Executives in pretty much all industries have now elevated digital transformation to the top of their strategic agenda. And theyâre right to do so. The risk of falling behind the curve is so great that senior leaders are not debating whether digital technologies will affect their competitive position, but rather how to conduct an effective digital transformation and how fast it can be done.
However, an organizationâs determination to get on the front foot with a bold digital strategy often falters when it comes up against the multi-dimensional complexity of the questions it faces and the risks it must manage. Should we prioritize short-term improvements at the expense of potentially larger strategic shifts? How fast will our industry be disrupted: months, years, or even decades? What level of risk are we willing to take on innovative new business models? Can we deliver our digital strategy in house or do we need to partner?

The document discusses how connecting devices is less important than connecting people. It argues that networks need to focus on where devices were located, exactly when they sent data, and how long data will remain useful. The document also stresses the importance of establishing trust in a connected world, especially with software and connected devices. It advocates creating new value by using connection to enable conversations between customers, employees, partners and products through connected experiences.
The document discusses collaboration trends based on a survey of 900 enterprises. Key findings include:
- Nearly 40% of organizations don't have a defined collaboration strategy. However, lines of business play a key role in defining strategies for 60% of organizations.
- Increasing sales is the second most important goal of collaboration strategies. However, few organizations measure success through return on investment.
- Collaboration has improved productivity and decision-making but many organizations fail to leverage it to improve competitiveness.
- Cloud-based collaboration is a strategic goal but few organizations currently rely on cloud services and adoption is expected to be gradual.
- Lines of business increasingly purchase and support their own collaboration technologies independently of IT departments.

2015-16 Global Chief Procurement Officer Survey - CPOCapgemini
Â
Capgemini Consultingâs sixth Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) Survey examines Procurement Trends, Compliance Management, Advanced Analytics in Procurement, and the Total Supplier Experience. Since our last CPO Survey, much has changed. During the darkest economic hours, Procurement was called upon in many troubled organizations to stem costs in new and creative ways. For many Procurement executives, there was no longer the need to sell the value of its standard services (cutting costs). Instead, Procurement was being called upon as a partner to drive cost out across the organization, thus elevating Procurement executives into a highly visible role in the organization.
This document summarizes key findings from a 2015 survey of global chief procurement officers. It finds that while cost cutting remains a top priority, procurement is also being asked to support business growth. It identifies three tools procurement groups are using to balance these objectives: compliance management, predictive analytics, and developing strong supplier relationships. The document also discusses emerging trends that will impact procurement, such as the rise of big data, analytics, cloud technologies, and shifts in global outsourcing landscapes.
