In an instant, Chief Procurement Officers and procurement leaders around the world are facing an entirely new set of challenges, accelerated by a global pandemic that has disrupted an interconnected business world and its supply chain. Once again, CPOs have been called to the front lines to defend their businesses, lead their teams, and ensure continuity. Attacks and threats are coming from all angles. But, the challenges of each day present opportunities within them. And, as we continue to navigate these disruptive days, it is clear that many of an enterprise’s best opportunities (and most critical priorities) will play to the strengths and expertise of its procurement department. Until then, resiliency is the order of the day. It is the global imperative and it serves as a call to procurement leaders and professionals around the world to respond with agility and poise – a call that many have spent years preparing for… a call that will be answered.
The fifteenth annual CPO-themed study is part of an ongoing dialogue that Ardent Partners’ analysts have had with CPOs and other procurement leaders for more than a decade. The annual study examines the general competencies and capabilities of procurement organizations today and highlights the management strategies and tactics that leading CPOs use to get the most from their teams. It also presents a comprehensive, industry-wide view into what is happening in the world of procurement and captures the experience, performance, perspective, and intentions of more than 300 CPOs and other procurement executives. This webinar will include benchmark statistics, analysis, and recommendations that procurement teams can use to better understand the state of procurement today, gain insight into best practices, benchmark their performance against the Best-in-Class, and ultimately improve their operations and performance.
Join Ardent’s founder and chief research officer, Andrew Bartolini on an interactive webinar where he will break down the results from the fifteenth annual CPO Rising market research study. On this webinar, Andrew and special guests will present a detailed view of the procurement operation today, by analyzing procurement’s current capabilities in the areas of people, process, and technology.
