Agile Procurement Insights Research: Elevating the strategic value of procurement
Thought Leadership Team
Oxford Economics

Oxford Economics and SAP conducted robust global research to understand Procurement’s influence on the organisation, the current state of supplier collaboration, and the impact of technology and process digitisation in the procurement function. We wanted to find out whether companies that embrace technology and closer supplier collaboration are more agile and can respond more effectively to disruption. In June 2020, we surveyed 1,000 procurement and supply chain executives responsible for direct spend, indirect spend, and management of contingent labour and services providers.
- Leaders aim higher
- Agility isn’t always on the payroll
- Close collaboration that goes beyond transactions
- Getting closer to see further
- Procurement-powered performance
