In today’s uncertain environment, every dollar matters. Procurement teams invest significant time and effort negotiating contracts that promise cost savings, efficiency, and competitive advantage. Yet too often, those savings fail to reach the bottom line.
This podcast explores why at least 20% of negotiated procurement savings are lost and why savings leakage has become a strategic risk for organizations. From poor compliance and fragmented systems to misaligned stakeholders, the discussion highlights the blind spots that erode value after contracts are signed.
Rather than treating savings leakage as a downstream issue, the conversation focuses on fixing the problem at its source. Strong governance, better alignment, and smarter use of technology emerge as essential levers to ensure negotiated savings are actually realized.
What You’ll Hear:
- Why negotiated procurement savings frequently fail to materialize
- The root causes of savings leakage across sourcing, compliance, and systems
- How organizations can close the gap between negotiated and realized savings
