[AOP event] The Tragic Mislabeling of Procurement: From Sourcing to Problem Solving (Art of Procurement)

September 5, 11am ET

As we will share in this live event, procurement often gets saddled with labels and expectations that we don’t deserve. Especially in the life sciences, with the costs of drug discovery continuing to rise, procurement is often the difference between profitability and difficulty. Join me and Ander Tallett, Chief Strategy Officer at Science Exchange, for a talk about how procurement can become a strategic value-added partner to every internal customer.

Managing risk, priorities and talent with strategic and digitalised category management at the core (Procurement Leaders & SAP)

September 7, 10am ET

With so many challenges being handed to procurement, it is no wonder that every approach and technique in the toolbox is being reevaluated for its ability to have a positive impact. Case in point: category management. Join Bernd Thannheiser, Director of Intelligence Spend Solution Advisory at SAP, for a discussion about how “category management is becoming a strategic way for companies to prepare their organisations for an uncertain future, open up new channels of supply and adopt differing approaches.”
