“ Pressures are rising to address value chain impact . We don ’ t have time to wait for the perfect data or to construct a perfect baseline . Control the controllable , and prioritise around what you do know .”

Tealbook . She discussed how to transform procurement with dynamic supplier data .
“ We all have a data problem ,” she began . “ Just because you have implemented a technology doesn ’ t mean you will have clean data . It ’ s poor data quality that leads to failed digital transformation .”
She added : “ The supplier base is the biggest untapped asset . If optimised properly , it can deliver hundreds of millions of dollars in value , provided that supplier data is dynamic and available across systems and people .”
