It was interesting to note that one CPO recently said
“There is a myth about a clash between local demands and group benefits. We don’t see it. In our company, they are very aligned.” in this recent article: https://cporising.com/2011/09/30/cpos-on-the-rise-in-2011-calling-all-suppliers/

It is most beneficial for categories that can truly be globally managed and have cross-regional synergy.

This can present major challenges for center-led Category Managers to build strategy and set plans of execution across a number of very different regions for the company’s business.
