STRAUMANN GROUP think of procurement from a tactical or purchasing-focused perspective risk both falling behind competitors and missing out on vital business optimisation opportunities.
“ The function now plays a key role in company success. In order to be competitive and successful, a procurement leader in 2025 always needs to be a step ahead, and anticipate needs and craft winning solutions far into the future and in a way which easily resonates with business executives and key stakeholders. Procurement has the unique ability to see the business from so many different angles as we interact with all the business functions, and this also gives us the unique ability to be able to anticipate current and future challenges,” says Sandra.
“The transformation has primarily been about changing the perception of procurement – from a traditional backoffice function to an integrated business partner”
