The Deloitte Global CPO Survey 2019

Deloitte produces an annual procurement survey and has researched the procurement agenda since 2011. In its latest survey in 2019, the key themes explored were complexity, talent and digital procurement. Some of the surveys key findings found that:

Complexity is there to be leveraged

• Chief Procurement Officers are facing vast amounts of complexity, both in the outside world and within the inside of the company. From the 500 respondents to the survey, it was found that economic downturn (42%), internal complexity (39%) and managing risk within mega suppliers (37%) are the most often mentioned risks and challenges that organisations face.

• Most CPOs believe procurement-related risks have increased over the past year.

• Organisations are subject to lots of external complexity and are more willing to address top risks (58%) than organisations operating in a world of lesser complexity (41%).

Talent models are to be changed

Retaining and recruiting the right talent is already a key pillar for many CPOs. With the entire skillset of procurement changing, the confidence level among CPOs on the ability to deliver on strategy has dropped from 49% to 46% this year. Strategic sourcing and category management is considered the largest (68%) area of training over the next 12 months.

Procurement goes digital - but is not mature enough

Procurement is becoming increasingly aligned to digital strategies with business strategies.

Low-in-maturity strategies such as improving and automating procurement processes (68%) and extending digital procurement tools to internal and external stakeholders (59%) are among the top digitisation strategies for CPOs.

High-in-maturity strategies such as connecting the supplier to the customer (21%) or tapping digital innovations from the supply base.
