Event list
This fall, SIG brought together procurement and outsourcing executives From Global 1000 and Fortune 500 companies for topic-based, cross-functional roundtables. The C-suite executives and their direct reports discussed top-of-mind issues related to:
• talent management
• sourcing pressure points
• trends in outsourcing
• sustainable sourcing programs
• procurement in 2020
• and risk
Join us Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 2 pm Eastern (11 am Pacific) for an engaging discussion with the facilitators from each Executive Roundtable as they share the hot points of each roundtable and key takeaways the executives shared:
• Talent Retention - Almost a quarter of U.S. CEOs polled say talent constraints make them unable to pursue a market opportunity. How do we win the talent war to retain top performers and still innovative effectively?
• Today's Outsourcing Trends - Cost reductions and inflexible relationships in the face of rapidly changing market conditions are not sustainable. Have you joined other executives in questioning the whole principle of outsourcing?
• Sourcing Pressure Points - Every organization has different pressure points when developing a business case, structuring contracts, managing transitions, monitoring transactions, and renegotiating. How can we learn from others' successes?
• Risk as a Genuine Threat - Investors are exposed to risk: financial, systematic, exchange rate, country-specific, liquidity, and cyber-risk. Board level interest in risk management grows. What is your company's "risk culture?"
• Sustainable Sourcing Programs - More companies are turning to sourcing to rationalize their spend and reduce costs. How do they increase the spend under management and deliver sustainable savings?
• Preparing for Procurement 2020 - New products, markets and services are leading companies to a new era. How should companies prepare for the new normal, especially as Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y leave the workforce and Millenials arrive?
This special webinar will highlight the insights the executives shared on the topics above. Join us!
