Discussion with Richard VERHAGEN - Procurement as a Profit Engine

Discussion with Richard VERHAGEN - Procurement as a Profit Engine 🎧Ep.06 - Discussion with Richard VERHAGEN In this episode, Richard Verhagen breaks down what it really takes to build a high-performing procurement organization in today’s industrial landscape. Beyond the usual narratives of savings and transformation, he dives into the uncomfortable realities: how do you earn credibility with a CFO who only sees cost? How do you enforce governance without killing agility? When does sustainability genuinely create value — and when does it become a luxury the P&L cannot absorb? Drawing on volatile energy markets, margin pressure, and complex stakeholder dynamics, he makes one thing clear: procurement maturity is not about tools or dashboards. It is about positioning, influence, and the ability to connect operational decisions to business impact. A conversation that speaks directly to procurement leaders navigating growth constraints, cost volatility, and increasing expectations — and who need procurement to deliver more than savings.
