In most companies, procurement is seen as an unglamorous, unloved part of the business. As a result, businesses often fail to realize the strategic and innovative potential of procurement.

But according to procurement and supply chain experts from the Boston Consulting Group, procurement can be a company’s secret weapon for winning in turbulent times.

On Tuesday, October 25, in a live HBR webinar, two thought leaders from BCG’s procurement activities in Europe and globally—Wolfgang Schnellbächer and Daniel Weise—will lead a discussion on a new strategic blueprint that puts procurement at the center of the business.

They will discuss:

• Why procurement sits at the core of a company’s success
• How procurement can help businesses generate phenomenal value
• Why procurement can help businesses generate value from other sources of competitive advantage that are critical to success—innovation, quality, sustainability, speed, and risk reduction

Drawing on BCG research and the authors' firsthand experience working with some of the world's leading companies—in high tech, automotive, consumer goods, and other industries— Schnellbächer and Weise will share vivid stories, in-depth case studies, and proven strategies to drive growth and competitive advantage from procurement.

To discover how to transform your business by putting procurement at the core, join HBR and BCG’s Schnellbächer and Weise on October 25.
