Download the Analyst Perspective by The Hackett Group and discover how to make the total value contribution of procurement measurable.
Procurement structurally delivers value in cost, risk and sustainability. That contribution simply tends to stay invisible to leadership and finance.
Cost avoidance, better payment terms, risk control and CO2 reduction are just as much part of the value procurement creates.
In 2026 the procurement workload rises by 8.0% while headcount falls by 0.9%. That 8.9% gap forces sharper choices.
With mature spend insight, savings rise from 3.7% to 7.8% and procurement ROI climbs from 5.2x to 13.6x.
