As Daniel R. Kahneman, Nobel laureate and behavioral economist once posited, "True intuitive expertise is learned from prolonged experience with good feedback on mistakes." In the lion's den of corporate management, this wisdom is being applied to the arena of Procurement Strategy, which, when executed adeptly, can significantly propel an organization's financial health, operational efficiency, and market competitiveness.

Defining Procurement Strategy

At its heart, Procurement Strategy is an organized process that directs the acquisition of goods and services from the external market. It involves strategic planning, vendor relationship management, contract management, and risk management. Proper implementation of a well-formulated Procurement Strategy can lead to cost reduction, increased operational efficiency, and mitigated risks—is in short, a force multiplier.

The traditional procurement process has been upturned in recent years, thanks to the Digital Transformation trends dictating industry realities. An increased reliance on data analytics, automation, supplier risk assessment tools, and other digital platforms has immensely increased the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement process.
