In today’s highly uncertain, competitive and digital environment, we understand that only businesses that are responsive, adaptable and agile will thrive – but what is the procurement organizations role in enabling this? Is it to stay laser focused on delivering savings and controlling spend or is it much more? Hear directly from former CPO of Cushman & Wakefield, Joanna Martinez on this very topic. Agility comes in many shapes and sizes, from market intel and access to data to customer service and supplier relationships.
Joanna shares her views on why it’s time for procurement to go from the department of cost-cutting to the enabler of agility.
The Learning Objectives for this Event are:
- What agility means in the context of procurement and why it matters
- Why information and collaboration are key to enabling agility
- How disruptive technologies help procurement create value for the business
- Why traditional procurement approaches need to be revisited
