Proving Procurement’s Value: Metrics That Matter in Mid-Market

This is part 3 of a three-part webinar series entitled “Growth Diaries: A Mid-Market Procurement series”, presented by Zycus. Procurement in mid-market companies isn’t just a scaled-down version of enterprise. It’s a different game altogether. With leaner teams, faster growth, and a lot more pressure to “figure it out.”, This 3-part series is designed for teams who are starting to build or actively scaling their procurement capabilities.

In this final third webinar, Proving Procurement’s Value: Metrics That Matter in Mid-Market, you’ve built a working system. But how do you show it’s working, especially to finance, the business, and leadership?

In this webinar, we help you craft a narrative around procurement’s impact: savings, but also speed, compliance, and strategic alignment. This is about moving from “back office” to boardroom relevance.
