AOP Event: Rethink, Reflect, Reexamine: Strengthening Global Procurement Operating Models (Art of Procurement & ProcureAbility)

March 29th, 11am ET

How does your procurement operating model help or hinder you in your efforts to be agile and resilient in the face of supply chain disruption? That is what this event will try to answer. The three most common models are centralized, decentralized, and center-led, and each has advantages and disadvantages. Global organizations have to give special thought to how they will achieve the desired level of collaboration and control with the business through their operating model. Join me, Philip Ideson, and Jake Taylor, ProcureAbility’s Senior Director of Advisory for a live discussion with audience participation.
