Great session to kick off day 5 of SSF UK Collaboration Week from Purchase to Pay network.
The events of the last few years have made many re-assess their digitisation projects and their internal processes. Where once the separate areas of finance, accounts payable, treasury and procurement existed in their own silos, forward-thinking organisations are looking at ways to connect. While at their core, procurement and finance functions differ, their processes intersect at many different points. And to achieve the best performance and business outcomes, it’s increasingly essential that procurement and finance teams work together in collaboration. But what are the benefits of doing so? And how do companies start down this route? We'll be talking to two industry leaders in Finance and Procurement to speak about the topic from their perspective.
Director of PPN Ellen Leith was joined by Dave Jones MCIPS, a former procurement leader at John Lewis and expert Procurement thought leader and Dan Foley, SSF UK Leader and Finance Shared Services Director, Kier as they discuss the pitfalls, benefits, long and short-term strategies to lead organisations on the path to better process and connectivity.
