Clevenger Presents at ProcureCon Indirect
Corporate United Vice President David Clevenger spoke at the 2008 ProcureCon Indirect USA conference in Atlanta, Georgia on January 28. Leading a Performance Summit Workshop, David focused on exploring the benefits of functionally aligning indirect procurement. Said Clevenger on the topic, “Difficult economic times provide spend management professionals with a unique dilemma: mounting pressure to deliver savings combined with slow downs in production. In this environment, attention naturally turns to indirect spend, but this approach is not without its obstacles.” He proceeded to present solutions to some of the challenges to functional alignment, such as spend ownership and establishing a level of credibility with colleagues in other departments. Clevenger ended the Performance Summit Workshop by sharing specific recommendations for procurement to align with their peers in other functional areas.
