Sourcing and Procurement
The past few years have brought fundamental changes in the role of the procurement function in many companies. However, organizations still face challenges in evolving beyond a transactional role because purchasers’ activities are often misaligned with company strategy. Often viewed as purely a “cost out” or “cost containment” function in the past, expected to deliver goods on time and at a low price, procurement has now matured significantly in many organizations and has become a strategic leader and advocate for greater operational effectiveness.
Deloitte’s Sourcing and Procurement practice is differentiated by our executable mindset, focus, and strategy capabilities — with emphasis on executable. We excel at strategies that are deliverable, delivered through a combination of strong category experience, broad-based knowledge and skills, and geographical reach around the world. We also team with other Deloitte services, such as tax, technology consulting, human capital consulting, and risk advisory, to address the many facets of sourcing and procurement-related engagements.
