Research Topics

Maximising Procurement Efficiency

An executive guide to finding further supply savings

  • Developing a world-class procurement function
  • The leadership role in supporting procurement
  • Working with clinicians to rationalise preference items
  • Implementing affordable technological solutions
  • A guide to strategic sourcing and channel selection
  • Identifying and analysing supply chain opportunities
  • Flattening the supply chain growth curve

Cost Reduction

Our series on reducing costs shifts focus to the next greatest area of opportunity: non-pay spend. We will present an executive guide to current opportunities to further reduce procurement and supply chain costs. Many organisations have made substantial gains through better management of this critical area. It is vital that these efficiencies are captured before major staff cost reductions are considered.
