September 13-17: The Importance of Data Quality, S2P Value Chains, Digital Transformation in Action

Last week, I had the opportunity to provide live commentary during the hybrid sessions at the Supply Chain Insights Global Summit, and this week Procurement Leaders is holding a hybrid event based in Boston, MA. That wouldn’t have been news a couple of years ago, but I take it as a good sign that we’re slowly crawling our way back towards some form of normalcy!

If you are planning your procurement webinar schedule beyond this week, I recommend ‘Supplier Diversity: Advancing Together at Ahold Delhaize,’ an AOP Live session featuring Nancy Nicoll, VP of the Indirect Sourcing Center of Excellence at Retail Business Services, and Carl Freeman, VP and Campus Leader at ADUSA Distribution. Sign up here and join the live session on September 22 at 11am ET.

If you haven’t already, sign up for our mailing list to be sure you get my weekly recommendations in your inbox each Monday.
