Why everyday purchases are pulling procurement away from the work that matters
Ask any CFO about their biggest procurement challenge, and they’ll talk about strategic supplier risk, cost reduction, or supply chain resilience. Ask a procurement team the same question, and you’ll get a different answer. Maverick spend.
This white paper explores why maverick spend has become one of procurement’s most overlooked productivity challenges—and why its true cost extends far beyond lost savings.
Drawing on insights from procurement leaders who attended the 2026 Procurement Strategies and Innovation workshop in London, Tom Mills, Procurement Protagonist®, examines how unmanaged everyday purchases create hidden operational burdens, consume valuable procurement capacity, and prevent teams from focusing on strategic initiatives.
Download this white paper to learn how procurement leaders can reduce the hidden cost of maverick spend and reclaim time for the work that matters most.
