KPMG were delighted to feature alongside Kantar CPO Stephen Day for a recent article within The Business Profile focusing on the ongoing Kantar procurement evolution.
Stephen has recently been inducted into the CIPS Procurement Powerlist 2022 and commented during his interview…..
One of the things that has attracted Kantar to KPMG is their “Powered Methodology”, this has allowed us to deploy Coupa at pace, focusing on time to value, with effort focused on business change and data readiness, as opposed to expending resources on solution design, where we can take advantage of KPMG’s “out of the box” processes taxonomy and design.

Unlock the potential in procurement
A world class procurement capability can generate huge value. Achieving it often means replacing broken processes and legacy systems.
When Steve Day (CPO) joined Kantar in 2020 he inherited a myriad of disjointed procurement processes and systems that were leaking value.
Extending the role of Procurement
Steve was faced with a number of key questions:
- How can Procurement better partner with the business?
- How can we enable the business to buy better?
- How do we best manage risk and sustainability in a complex global supply chain?
- How can procurement use external insights, tools and technologies to drive better outcomes?
- What is the best way to make change happen smoothly?
Steve identified a need to transform the Source to Pay capability. Using KPMG’s Powered approach, Kantar set about transforming Source to Pay to create a more automated and user friendly experience that drives value and mitigates supplier risk.
