Every day, the procurement executive is asked to think ahead. Understanding the impact of cost and sourcing shifts in direct materials requires knowledge of what challenges are ahead for the supplier base. Recognising risk means transparency and awareness of vulnerabilities in the supply chain. Capitalising on efficiencies and opportunities is fuelled by an ability to harness the latest technology and predict trends in the relevant value chains. In some senses procurement is a conduit for the business to better understand its suppliers, and through that to better inform and serve its customers.

In this webinar we look at what 2017 will look like, both from the perspective of how new technologies and thinking will change the procurement organisation, but also how the supplier’s world is changing too and what implications that will have for the buyer-seller relationship. 

• What technologies will change the way businesses purchase supply in 2017?
• Trends shaping supply markets and how procurement can adapt its approach to the supply base to capitalise on the opportunity and mitigate the risks.
• What kind of challenges are procurement functions predicting for 2017 and how are they adapting in anticipation?
