- #10 TONY -- I thought that this was an interesting graphic representation of three different ways of working with suppliers—SRM and driving innovation and input; supplier management or governance and lastly, signing the supply agreement and hoping for the best or what might be called “Not so benign neglect”. You can see the dramatic difference in benefits derived from a well run SRM program, over simple governance and especially over Not so benign neglect.
- #11 TONY -- One aspect of an SRM program is holding supplier meetings where suppliers and their customers interact to innovate around a list of challenges and opportunities for their customers. Often, this takes the form of unstructured brainstorming. This chart shows a different approach used by Whirlpool where first Whirlpool evaluated their suppliers on their desire and capability to innovate. And then framed the areas of interest by Whirlpool in order to get more “shots on goal” or ideas that Whirlpool was interested in and would therefore pursue. I believe that the data ultimately showed that by using this approach, Whirlpool more than doubled the value that they got from their suppliers. GE had another interesting approach to innovation. In a sense they valued ideas brought in from outside the company , more than internally developed ideas. The thinking was that if an idea was successful elsewhere, someone had kicked the tires and worked out the bugs.
- #12 TONY -- SRM needs to be a well coordinated process that has a long term focus. While cost savings may be the initial focus, more evolved SRM relationships move on to improving quality and cycle times, product innovation and even revenue generation, the holy grail. Pre-planning for the event is critical. Both companies need to be prepared to share information about their goals, challenges, capabilities and key areas of focus. An agenda should be jointly developed and the appropriate resources from both parties should be scheduled to participate in the meetings. It is critical to involve key decision makers in order to get the right focus and resourcing for the ideas and projects that come out the meetings. This often results in the supplier winning business or recognizing new areas of investment for the future. And most important, is to be clear about what will be done, quantifying the value of the ideas, committing the resources and then executing and tracking the progress.
- #14 So - source to pay or source to settle or upstream and downstream procurement...call it what you want. I think we would all agree that this is an ideal view of how it works. Understand what/where you’re spending, enable a sourcing approach to address as much of this as possible, develop agreements, contracts with preferred suppliers and achieve savings. Try to figure out the accounting of those savings and hopefully invest some of these into areas of need. On the downstream process...this ideally is where the savings are captured, transactions are digital and process is automated. Spend is optimized and compliance to contracts generates the savings. Great user experience makes procurement a partner rather than a roadblock. Ideally - there is also collaboration throughout this process with the many many stakeholders involved from buyers, employees to procurement, suppliers, accounts payable, IT, finance. Lastly, a big part of the process or at least very closely aligned with the process is supplier management.
- #15 The reality is this… it is a disconnected process and siloed information in many cases. With spend analysis - often it is incomplete Sourcing can be a very lengthy process, achieving a long term contract and terms...only to have often a high percentage of maverick spend. And also for procurement - where has all the innovation gone...this is certainly something that has not been a traditional focus of procurement - but it should be. And then you have a disconnected downstream process which itself can be siloed.
- #16 One of the oldest challenges in procurement really comes down to being able to influence more spend. As an example...take a company which has $1B in indirect spend….this is an example used by hackett. According to them… And traditionally procurement solutions will tend to focus on this….maybe some of this...but have no way of addressing this.
- #17 Visibility is a huge problem in the process - as we just saw with the example many companies have spend happening in several parts of the business and procurement/sourcing are not in the loop on these types of purchases - we often fall back on a manual processes which causes the data to live within a few people’s inboxes. To help drive visibility it’s critical to embrace collaboration. You want to bring the team together to have a constant flow of information. If we look at other parts of the business - marketing, sales, finance, HR, and others use tools and systems to get everybody on the same page and bring visibility to the enterprise.
- #18 Additionally, another big challenge we often hear about is a focus on business outcomes. Today it’s all about having access to data on-demand. If getting that information is extremely time consuming to the team or the information isn’t all in one spot - it can quickly impact business outcome and hurt the level of trust you’re building with the business partner. Purpose driven impact is a phrase that we’ve started to hear in several companies. The idea is simply to focus on the business’ strategic initiatives and making sure those teams have access to real-time data so they can see what’s happening with their projects in a collaborative environment.

- #24 Lets face it - when comes to eprocurement, the technologies that most are used to is old and outdated. It is not easy to use and typically has very low adoption. Focus solutions that remove barriers and make buying a simple process and a collaborative process...as you can see on the right here. Collaboration is at the heart of successful relationships with suppliers and stakeholders, and we make it easy for buyers, suppliers, and employees to collaborate. When you have all of the constituents on one system, you can ask questions, exchange ideas, or resolve disputes throughout a process Also, there are solutions that can help in targetting non-contracted spend...e.g., tradeshift can do this by using a virtual card.
- #25 And the last mile of the the source to pay process. This is really where you want to be efficient but also effective and collaboration in the invoicing process also is key to faster cycle times, resolving disputes, accurate supplier information. Of course this should be done in an digital format and fully compliant wherever you do business.
