An executive guide that arms CPOs with proven strategies to win stakeholder support, maximize ROI, and drive a successful Source-to-Pay transformation.

Digital procurement transformation is no longer a question of if, but how. As a CPO, you’re tasked with modernizing Source-to-Pay (S2P) processes – yet securing budget and proving ROI can be daunting. This whitepaper is your definitive playbook to navigate that journey. It provides an authoritative, step-by-step guide for building a compelling business case and executing a transformation that delivers real results. You’ll learn how to assess your organization with a Procurement Maturity Model, secure executive buy-in by quantifying ROI, and implement changes that pay off. Crucially, this guide doesn’t shy away from the truth: the cost of inaction is high, and many digital initiatives falter without the right approach. By distilling lessons from successful transformations (and failures to avoid), it gives you the blueprint to lead S2P innovation with confidence and urgency.

Reading this playbook will help you:
  • Assess and Plan: Leverage a Procurement Maturity Model framework to evaluate your current state and plot a clear roadmap toward Source-to-Pay excellence.
  • Secure Executive Buy-In: Learn techniques to craft a winning business case that speaks the language of the C-suite – from aligning with strategic goals to detailing ROI – so you can secure funding and sponsorship for your initiatives.
  • Deliver Measurable ROI: Discover key strategies to maximize value at each phase of your transformation. From quick wins to long-term gains, see how to track and communicate ROI, turning procurement into a recognized profit center.
  • Understand the Cost of Inaction: Grasp the risk of standing still – world-class procurement organizations operate at 21% lower cost than their peers, a gap that grows if you delay. This playbook shows what falling behind could cost and why timely action is essential.
  • Avoid Common Pitfalls: Identify why so many digital procurement initiatives fall short (nearly 68% fail to achieve their expected outcomes) and learn how to overcome resistance to change, skill gaps, and other transformation hurdles.

This playbook will help you do exactly that, from the first pitch for funding to the final ROI report. Download the whitepaper and get the comprehensive strategy you need to lead a successful S2P transformation that leaves no value on the table.
