When I was a Chief Procurement Officer, I participated in a number of CPO peer groups. One of the very best was sponsored by MAPI (Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation). MAPI has numerous councils, including a CEO Council, a Division Leadership Council, and functional councils such as a CFO Council and a Purchasing Council to name just a few.
Recently, I had the pleasure of joining MAPI's Division Leadership Council, comprised principally of business unit presidents, and contributing to the discussion. The topic: how to optimize supply management synergies when acquiring another business.
In preparation for that session, I collaborated with MAPI on a short survey, the results of which were very enlightening, and go well beyond the M&A topic. The executive summary is available to the public, and can be found here:
