Getting Procurement Right: From Cost Center to Growth Driver
This is part 1 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 webinar, Getting Procurement Right: From Cost Center to Growth Driver, procurement for mid-market companies is often a balancing act of rising demands, and limited systems. As a result, it’s easy to fall into firefighting mode: chasing down approvals, reacting to last-minute purchases, and struggling to explain spend.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. This session tackles the foundational chaos every mid-market team hits early: scattered intake, unclear approvals, and spend that’s hard to track. In this panel with experts from Hackett, ISM, and Zycus, you’ll learn how to regain control without slowing the business down.
