1 Procurement Executive Insight January, 2013 Complimentary Research 2013 Procurement Key Issues: Going Deeper and Broader to Deliver Borderless Procurement Services By Michel Janssen, Pierre Mitchell and Lynne Schneider Executive Summary Of all the Hackett Key Issues Studies conducted in the last five years, the 2013 edition shows the greatest yearover-last change in priorities for both performance and capability-related issues. Procurement executives expect to be extremely busy in the coming year supporting the enterprise focus on profitable growth. In response, they are working to expand the quantity and quality of their organization s spend influence via sourcing, category management and increasingly, supplier relationship management. Many of their priorities in the coming year will require greater cross-functional collaboration with business units, functional partners, Global Business Services groups and third parties. While priorities may vary based on individual enterprise strategies, in 2013 the overarching goal is to deliver more value without more resources. In 2013, enterprises are trying to not just grow globally, but to balance local agility with global scale in their value chains. To do so, internal business services that support them must be equally borderless, from the geographic, organizational, technology and other standpoints. Four imperatives were identified by participants in our 2013 Enterprise Key Issues Study: Fostering the agility required to achieve profit goals when revenue falls short of expectations, and to add value to procurement services without additional headcount or budget. Continuing to move toward a more standardized and global approach to the business and to procurement operations. Maturing the concepts of process ownership beyond the basics of process standardization, and creating value by working across functional, business unit and geographic borders. Obtaining insights, intelligence and actionable strategies from data generated by procurement activities. It is likely that growth will always be the top priority for CEOs, but for the other senior executives (including procurement leaders) who participated in the study, improving operating margin actually overtook increasing revenue compared to 2012 (Fig. 1) The Hackett Group, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.

This of course helps set the agenda for procurement organizations to support. On the revenue and growth enablement front alone, procurement organizations have a broad spectrum of supplier engagement options planned to support enterprise strategies in 2013 (Fig. 2).

3 The challenge will be finding a way to fund these strategic pursuits when staffing and budgets remain tight. Although revenue is expected to grow during , albeit slowing relative to , procurement budgets will be flat going into 2013, with operating budgets expected to drop by 0.40% and FTE levels by 0.50% (Fig. 3). FIG. 3 Projected changes in revenue, procurement budgets and headcount Overall revenue growth 7.9% 6.5% Procurement operating budget Number of staff (FTEs) in the procurement function 1.16% % -0.50% 2012 COMPARED TO COMPARED TO 2012 Source: Key Issues Study, The Hackett Group, 2013 Since procurement, like other functions, is being required to do more with less, it will need to do things differently. Based on the Key Issues Study findings, there is plenty of change on the horizon: Globalizing value chains means globalizing direct as well as indirect procurement resources that are increasingly part of a broader business services delivery group, such as a Global Business Services organization. 1 Companies have average of 12% of their FTEs already located in low-cost regions, a number that is expected to reach 21% in within two years. Roughly one-third to one-half of companies have created a global design for policy/ strategy standards, process designs, technology platforms, KPIs and master data management (MDM) with plans to increase those levels to 50-60% within three years. KPIs, MDM and near-real-time analytics are key to enabling closed-loop performance management processes for the enterprise (i.e., enterprise performance management, or EPM) or for procurement/supply chain (which Hackett calls supply performance management ). 2 Timely analytics are not always easy to come by in large, global enterprises. In our recent globalization study, we found that 80% of top-quartile performers offer visibility in near real-time or within one day, compared to only 28% of the peer group. Since a one-size-fits-all procurement Service Delivery Model (SDM) is insufficient for the complex needs of large organizations, the ability to mass-customize procurement processes as services by category, stakeholder, contract type, buy-pay channel, geography, etc., is paramount. Using a procurement SDM to design tailored services for end-to-end processes is a key principle behind enterprise process ownership (sometimes known as global process ownership ) and Global Business Services strategies. In the study, we found that 21% of procurement organizations are scoping their enterprise process ownership to cross-functional, end-to-end processes (e.g., purchase-topay or source-to-settle). Building these new capabilities is not easy, and procurement, perhaps more than any other function, realizes the importance of tailoring its approach to influence stakeholders and help them gain better performance outcomes. This means helping to maximize the 1 In 2012, The Hackett Group conducted a globalization research study and created an associated Globalization Index to measure the extent of globalization of the enterprise operating model; globalization of business services delivery (including procurement); and finally, the degree of alignment between the two The Hackett Group, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.

4 value of third-party relationships. As with last year s Key Issues Study, the 2013 edition validated that procurement is generally doing a good job helping stakeholders capture this value, especially relative to how well other functions perform. Only 10-20% of nonprocurement study respondents believe that uncaptured value is a major issue for 2013 (Fig. 4). FIG. 4 Only a small minority of non-procurement executives feel that untapped supplier value and procurement value are major issues for 2013 Percent of procurement stakeholders indicating they have difficulty getting enough value from supplier relationships 59% 5% 40% 55% 20% 45% 3% 13% 29% Percent of procurement stakeholders indicating they have difficulty getting enough value from the procurement function to maximize supplier relationships 5% 47% 20% 11% 27% 24% Finance IT HR Finance IT HR MOST IMPORTANT INTERNAL SUPPORT ISSUE WE FACE IMPORTANT ISSUE TO ADDRESS IN 2013 AN ONGOING ISSUE Source: Key Issues Study, The Hackett Group, 2013 There is still opportunity to improve, however. Plus, procurement s stakeholders who have a notoriously short memory when it comes to its historical successes are ratcheting up their expectations for procurement to develop ever-deeper capabilities and deliver more impactfully across a much broader set of KPIs in Procurement Key Issues It Will Be a Busy 2013 Of all the Hackett Key Issues Studies conducted in the last five years, in 2013 we see the greatest change over the previous year in priorities for both performance and capability-related issues. Reducing purchased costs remains at the top of performancerelated concerns, but the increase to 90% of companies clearly shows that, for better or worse, cost reduction is king (Fig. 5). However, innovation has shot up in the rankings and is now tied with spend influence as the number-two priority. Interestingly, although innovation is primarily a revenue-generation strategy, only of organizations consider supporting growth enablement beyond innovation to be a major or critical priority. Another interesting finding is that 50% of procurement organizations are placing a major emphasis on reducing the cost of procurement operating expense in the coming year, compared to in The focus here is not only to support top-down cost-reduction mandates from finance or elsewhere, but also to free up funds and resources for highervalue activities. 2 See the two-part Hackett series on supply analytics and information management referenced in the Related Hackett Research section at the end of this document The Hackett Group, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.

Supplier compliance is receiving particular attention, with an emphasis on efficient management of cross-functional workflows relating to regulatory requirements and supplier compliance with performance expectations. These processes create headaches for suppliers and buyers alike, and can detract from strategic value creation when participants are bogged down in processing paper and spreadsheets. Building such capabilities is a combination of process change (e.g., using supplier stratification to tailor workflows and information), master data management, analytics, measurement systems and more, and leads naturally to the topic of improving procurement capabilities in 2013 (Fig. 6) The Hackett Group, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.

The idea is to set up a one-to-many approach through a Center of Excellence (CoE) serving both procurement and its stakeholders. A good example is supply market intelligence (SMI), in which a CoE supports multiple value objectives including reducing risk, speeding up sourcing, improving negotiations, supporting newmarket entry and competitive intelligence scenarios. It might be provided to category managers who then use it to serve their stakeholders; alternatively, it might serve enterprise strategic planning staff or others. Building such a major capability requires a major effort involving implementation of many lower-level capabilities (Fig. 7) The Hackett Group, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.

Sourcing workflow support (including tactical sourcing and buying desks ), analytics, knowledge management, benchmarking, training and other areas are similarly popular. CoEs can be run in the procurement organization, corporate headquarters, the Global Business Services organization or even in business units (the latter via a virtual model, in which resources report through the CoE but remain at their normal work location) The Hackett Group, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.

The three areas of capability-building receiving the most attention are category management, supplier relationship management (SRM) and improving the source-to-settle operating model. Most procurement organizations have a weaker formal mandate than they would like in these areas, but the smartest among them have learned to be opportunistic, using external events and internal business initiatives to provide the impetus for building new capabilities. They are also more deliberate in systematizing newly built capabilities in order to extend them to additional areas of spend and stakeholder engagement. Unquestionably, this continual process of broadening procurement s value objectives, scorecard and capabilities is arduous. More than brute strength, flexibility will help the procurement organization go global in step with the business The Hackett Group, Inc.; All Rights Reserved.
