The Strategic Shift: Why WCM is Procurement’s Untapped Power Play

The Strategic Shift: Why WCM is Procurement’s Untapped Power Play

In an era of market volatility, Procurement leaders are under pressure to balance cost containment and drive business growth.

Top procurement leaders are now partnering with finance to focus on Working Capital Management (WCM). Research from Economist Impact shows that while 44% of CFOs prioritize cost optimization, only 10% see working capital as a top procurement priority, representing a missed opportunity for those ready to lead.

Join experts from SAP, SAP Taulia, and Teva Pharmaceuticals to learn how procurement can move from the back office to a core strategic pillar. Discover how Teva Pharmaceuticals transformed its “Cash Culture,” improving its NWC-to-sales ratio from 16% to 4%. This effort released over $1.5 billion in cash and resulted in five credit rating upgrades in just eight months.
