How to Select and Manage the Right Suppliers for Ongoing Business Success (Coupa, Forrester)
April 21, 12n ET
If everyone in the C-suite could somehow accept (as asserted by this webinar description) that suppliers are as important as employees, procurement would no longer have to fight for a seat at the table. In this webinar, Andrew Bartels, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester, and moderator Mat Calabro, Product Marketing Manager at Coupa, will talk about how procurement can bring simultaneous harmony by partnering externally with suppliers and cross-functionally in the enterprise.
April 22nd, 2pm ET
The best case for attending this webinar is made by a quote from Warren Buffet offered at the start of the description: “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.” And since none of us wants to be caught doggie-paddling in our skivvies, we would be wise to start preparing now to adjust to a post-COVID-19 world. Keeping in mind that no one knows exactly what is waiting for us on the other side of this crisis, procurement challenge is to stay calm and ensure optionality in all frameworks and change management efforts. Featuring Cecilia Edwards, Partner of Everest Group, and Dale Stara, Associate Partner of Everest Group.
