Look out for these emails and be sure to add us to your address book!
Quick fact: Cost Savings Reporting
 |
In a recent CAPS survey on cost savings, 65% of respondents said they report cost savings results directly to the CEO. Only 6% report savings to just the Supply Management/Procurement group. Of the remaining respondents, 12% reported to key stakeholders in the business and 16% reported to C-Suite executives excluding the CEO. |
