\u201cKGM Strategy Group has been instrumental in our business transformation and has enabled us to become leaner and smarter with our indirect spend<\/strong>. We engaged them for a complete procurement transformation project which started with a spend assessment to identify target opportunities for immediate savings impact. ISG\u2019s evaluation also included a review of our existing procurement function and recommendations for a future-state, enhanced procurement organization that will position us for long-term success. In executing upon the recommended opportunities, KGM Strategy Group truly partnered alongside our team to deliver tangible value. The ISG team has been an amazing partner and has built a strong, credible brand reputation within our walls<\/strong>. I am very pleased when I reflect on the journey and the significant progress that we have made together.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe started working with KGM Strategy Group almost a decade ago with a small pilot program in a single division. They quickly proved themselves as experts in procurement and analytics<\/strong>. Today they lead procurement projects in all of our divisions, delivering significant value and savings. They recently\u00a0led cross-subsidiary sourcing projects by using sophisticated analytics to consolidate spend among our broad product offerings. In each case, the projects were a tremendous success. We consider them\u00a0an extension of our team<\/strong>. They are highly regarded by our senior executives and are considered\u00a0a strategic partner.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u201cI highly recommend the Energy Practice at KGM Strategy Group.

\u201cWe joined KGM Strategy Group\u2019s Office Supplies GPO program in 2011, which initially covered only our North American locations. Once we saw the significant savings the consortia program helped us achieve<\/strong>\u2014and how we were able to monitor the savings and communicate the results to other business units\u2014we extended the program globally to include our locations in Europe and other parts of the world. The program\u2019s robust contracted pricing list helps us further maximize savings.\u201d<\/h3>\n
