23. Managing your Challenges in 2020
ā¢ āSuppliers in the coming decade will continue to take on bigger
pieces of things they already do for customers.ā
ā¢ āMarket pricing for goods and services will become so
transparent ā¦ that negotiation will be a lost art.ā
ā¢ āProcurement will become more strongly linked to financial
supply chains, optimizing cash flow and working capital,
implementing dynamic discounting, supply chain financing, and
so forth.ā
ā¢ āTiming of customer-supplier collaboration will shiftā earlier

This sense of urgency was also shared by delegates at a recent KPMG event in Hong Kong, where KPMG shared results of recent research, most notably, the process challenges CFOās have regarding compliance and tax. Complying with global tax regulations like VAT tax in Europe, is very difficult and mistakes can be very costly. And the business process challenges highlighted point to an increasing need to connect their procure-to-pay functions with their suppliers order-to-cash functions. Both processes focus on cost take out and improved cash flow control.

OK. So we had three key take aways for todayās eLearning session:Remember that the CFO and finance organizations are inundated with proposals for improving their business. So itās essential to quickly establish a sense of urgency with your finance contacts.Weāll look at three collaboration imperatives for finance: cash flow, productivity, and supply chain risk mitigationWeāll learn how to map Ariba solutions to these imperatives for financeResearch tells us that Companies must become more closely linked in a volatile business environment because of supply chain disruptions (i.e. Japan) , financially weak trading partners and changing market demand all of which require immediate responses to questions like: Q: where are revenues coming from, and when can i expect them? Q: how can I spot problems that will affect my cash position? Q: How can I reduce the chance of cash flow problems occurring in the first place? Q: how long before cash goes out or comes in? Q: Am i paying too quickly? Am I paying too slowly? What can I do to optimize working capital? And of course as managing cash performance gains greater scrutiny, how is my performance perceived by investors and Wall Street?
