What, me plan?

I am not sure how I missed this earlier, but I did see it from England, at least. Aberdeen had a study which showed a surprising number of CPOs (20%) have no formal plan for purchasing strategy. Almost half did have a plan that spanned over one year, fortunately.

Aberdeen Group predicts 2008 will be the year of the “CPO rising” as they embed their position and their importance to the business over the next 12 months. “Like a Roman centurion, the chief procurement officer leads his/her team from the front lines, exposed on the flanks by an increasingly volatile and increasingly global marketplace and marked by an increasing prominence that demands greater performance,” said the report, which interviewed 350 procurement leaders worldwide.

I will go make an effort to locate this report in the research library. There is likely to be a lot more information in this report beyond this one statistic.
