Best Practices (Benchmarking) How does your organization compare to best practices? This can be determined through a comparison of your procurement strategies, processes, systems and organization. Having worked with leading organizations in procurement we are able to determine what gaps there may be between your and other leading organizations in the world. Some of the issues, which are reviewed, include: Strategy: To what extent is the procurement strategy aligned with the overall business strategy? Processes: Are Strategic sourcing best practices in place? What supplier management processes are used? Is the transactional execution process using the latest Internet technologies? Organization/culture: Is the procurement organization set up in a way to maximize the supply chain benefits? Are the right incentives and training programs in place? Systems: Are the best E-procurement tools being used? Are the right systems in place to measure and track the savings?
