High Performance Through Procurement: Accenture Research And Insights Into Procurement Performance Mastery

This paper is part of an ongoing series of cross industry studies in supply chain management. Its mission is to tally, chart and analyze the responses of executives from companies around the world - senior decision makers whose principal roles involve procurement specifically, or procurement as a key subset of broader supply chain management responsibilities. The data and analyses contained in the report clearly show that procurement mastery does contribute to high performance. In this paper, Accenture has sought to shed the freshest-possible light on the art and science of procurement - to define, understand, quantify and present examples of procurement mastery.
