Member Exclusive – Make Your Savings Stick
The Faculty’s Research Consultant, Hugo Britt, announces the release of ground-breaking procurement research exclusively to Procurious members.
Astoundingly, more than 50 per cent of contracted savings are not making their way to the bottom line of Australia’s leading organisations. This troubling disconnect between contracted and realised savings has the potential to undermine the very credibility of the procurement function.
The Faculty’s latest research paper ‘Making it Stick’, is a call to action for procurement teams, CEOs and CFOs to address the fundamental shortfalls that are costing organisations hundreds of millions in unrealised savings.
You can access ‘Making it Stick’ from the Procurious community feed.
Our report highlights exactly where organisations are coming unstuck in the process of realising savings and provides actionable pragmatic steps that can be followed to ensure contracted savings hit the bottom line.
What we uncovered
Our research, currently available exclusively on Procurious, identified that:
- 29 per cent of organisations have no defined benefits realisation program for tracking savings
- 58 per cent of interviewees were unable to estimate the precent of negotiated savings that actually reached the businesses bottom line
- Only 20 per cent of organisations incentivise their staff on savings delivery beyond contract execution
- Weaknesses in benefits tracking programs are shared across public and private organisations
- Significant change management needs to occur before organisations can fully realise the savings they have negotiated
- There is a lack of definitions and measurements around savings tracking and benefits realisation that undermines procurements efforts in this area
