Leaders who take SRM seriously also realise that , just as SRM is an
organisational concern rather than a functional one , these skills are
needed by all employees who interact with suppliers , regardless of
their job title or level of seniority .
However , our research suggests that too few organisations are
willing to invest in the training needed to support SRM and thus
secure the business benefits it offers . Some 40 % do not spend much
on SRM - specific training , while more than a quarter spend nothing at
all – a significant increase on last year ’ s figure of 19 %. Less than a
third reported moderate spending – a drop of four percentage
points on last year – with only 6 % giving it significant financial
backing .
