Talking Tail Spend Management with Sourcing Experts

Corcentric will Moderate a Panel on Tail Spend at Consero's Procurement and Strategic Sourcing Forum



    WILLOW GROVE, PA, November 05, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- From December 8th to 10th, Procurement executives will escape the winter weather at Consero's Procurement & Strategic Sourcing Forum in Coral Gables, Florida. Throughout the event, they'll network and exchange insights on topics like the role of data analytics in Procurement, the promise of emerging technologies, and evolving global risk factors. On the 9th, Corcentric Director Anthony Mignona will moderate a panel on tail spend management.

Effectively Managing Tail Spend: What More Can Be Done? will include panelists from organizations including Herman Miller and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. The executives will use the hour-long conversation to share the steps they've taken to make even neglected spend a source of hard dollar value.

"Definitions for tail spend vary from organization to organization," says Mignona. "Nearly every organization, however, has at least one thing in common when it comes to tail spend. They're not paying close enough attention to it."

Though Procurement teams tend to dismiss tail spend as low-value, Mignona contends that a hands-on approach can pay dividends. "Handled strategically," he remarks, "tail spend is anything but low-value. Organizations that bring every dollar under management succeed in driving savings, building better supplier relationships, and cutting out non-compliance across their Procurement functions."

Mignona has already argued for a new approach to spend management on an episode of the Source One Podcast. He looks forward to driving the discussion forward as 2019 comes to a close. Procurement professionals are encouraged to read Source One's blog, the Strategic Sourceror, for more insights every day.
