Indirect categories that move enormous volumes and touch critical areas, yet too often stay invisible in the strategic conversation.

Guido Di Bacco (Global Procurement Director Essity), who we interviewed for our Compri Bene Podcast, tells us.

What we take home:

  • Getting a marketing investment wrong can burn millions without selling anything, and a weak IT setup creates security and compliance costs that dwarf any saving made on direct spend.
  • Indirect Procurement moves enormous volumes and touches critical categories, but it's too often left out of the strategic conversation, and that could be about to change.
