The Key to Relationship Success in Procurement (ISM, Zycus, Procurement Insights)
September 19th, 11am ET
Are you looking for a little bit of advice or counseling on how to improve the quality and stability of your professional relationships? In this webinar, Jon Hansen (Procurement Insights) will discuss the investments that need to be made before you can start trying to improve communication and collaboration, namely the true interests and priorities of the other parties we are working with.
The 4 C’s of a Successful Spend Assessment Project (SIG, Denali)
September 19th, 1pm ET
If solid spend analysis data serves as the foundation for everything else procurement does, then trying to move forward without it is like building a house on the sand. In this webinar, Denali will share their perspectives on fostering effective spend analysis and overcoming bad data. It seems valid to point out that even after the WNS Denali/Procurability split, Denali is still a service provider – so no worries that this webinar will divert to a spend analysis demo.
AI and Strategic Sourcing (SIG, Keelvar)
September 21st, 10am ET
Keelvar, a tech provider focused on AI and optimization in procurement, exploring advanced techniques for advanced sourcing teams seeking to improve performance, speed and control. If you’re able, Keelvar is also hosting a series of regional seminars all over the world. They will be in Boston on October 13th, and the event will feature Spend Matters’ Pierre Mitchell (I’m planning to attend as well.) Click here for more information.
