Transforming Indirect Procurement Spend: A Case Study

by Mary C. Lacity, Leslie P. Willcocks, David Feeny

While it is easy to prescribe consolidating spend across business units, for example, it is an entirely different matter to have enough muscle to implement it. This is why radical transformation must be initiated at top levels of an organization.
