As we start the first full month of November, it is impossible to ignore the reality that the end of the year is just weeks away. At most there are only 6 full work weeks left in the year. 2024 is just around the corner and there is no time to waste! Hopefully you will find inspiration for the new year in this week’s events.
If you are planning your event schedule ahead of this week, I recommend Redefining Procurement’s Value and Shifting Mindsets from Art of Procurement, Ivalua, and The Hackett Group on November 29.
And now for this week’s recommendations…

The Shifting Workforce Dynamic: Understanding the Why Behind the Increasing Role of HR in Contingent Labor Management (Workday)
November 8, 1pm ET
Don’t look now… but that contingent workforce spend procurement has been managing has a new group moving in: Human Resources. According to this event’s description, HR teams are not only being encouraged to play a more active role in this category, they can also be expected to share their input into the VMS the company uses. The more the merrier, but it is still best to be prepared!
