Theme Discussion | How do you climb the procurement maturity ladder through purchase to pay optimisation? 

Stora Enso is monitoring their procurement maturity scale and act in order to climb the maturity ladder. In the past years Stora Enso, with a de-centralized organisation, has developed the category management structure, sourcing practices, data harmonisation and a service center plan. They also work to improve their purchase to pay processes through process mapping, data harmonisation, robotic process automation (RPA) projects and ways to overcome a scattered system landscape. Discuss lessons learned and compare with your organisation.

• How are you taking control over your purchase to pay processes (PO coverage/3 way matching/data mining etc) and what the main drivers for KPIs improvements in P2P process ?
• If you don’t have an end-to-end system – are you using RPA or other ways to overcome system gaps?
• What are you choosing to do in-house versus outsourcing to a service center? And if you select outsourcing service center , why ?
• How are you closing possible knowledge gaps in your organisation?
