SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT RESEARCH 2022

FAQ

Over 13 years of conducting this research it’s never been more important to demonstrate the tangible and commercial value that can be delivered from an investment in Supplier Management. Operating in a commercial world means the majority of procurement functions need to show shareholders or business owners a clear financial return. The best supplier management programmes, however, go further than that. They incorporate other forms of value that connect to their business’s broader objectives. We really appreciate you being prepared to help us to understand and share key learnings by participating in this year’s research.

Who is this survey aimed at?

This survey should be completed by those with an involvement in supplier management from the buy side perspective.

What will the information gathered be used for?

The report:
The data collected will be used to create an understanding of the nature and maturity of Supplier Management practice across participating global companies and enable a reflection on benefits, challenges and trends. The report is available free of charge to all participants. For clarity, individual survey responses will not be reported.

Maturity and benchmark analysis:
Following the collation of responses we will be able to offer you a maturity and benchmark analysis based on your responses when compared to our best practice model and other respondents. Please note that this is provided free of charge.

In addition to providing insight across the six pillars of supplier management, the Research 2021 has a particular focus on value – in all its many forms.

In this year’s State of Flux report, we look to explore the topic of growing and nurturing value in extensive detail, supported by global research, interviews, and case studies from large international organisations.
