Our research and direct engagement with clients make us sure that
realising tangible value requires the whole business to embrace
SRM . It needs to be a business change programme rather than a
procurement initiative , and it needs full engagement and support
from the senior executive level down . This report is written with
senior executive or C - suite readers in mind , whose support and
engagement is critical to SRM achieving its full potential for
businesses . We hope the evidence within convinces you that
supplier relationships are a key lever to achieving the business
objectives of growth , profitability and increased shareholder value .
As for how you deliver this , please contact us or we have provided
many tools , tips , articles and case studies highlighting best practice
in our 2013 and 2014 SRM reports . These are available to download
at www . stateofflux . co . uk ( under ‘ Reports and publications ’).
I hope you enjoy reading the report and , as always , find it stimulating
and a valuable source of information .
