About Procurement Leaders Forum
The Procurement Leaders Forum 2013, Chicago, will present delegates with in-depth and unique case studies and insights into critical issues CPOs face today, including:
Reshoring: reality or fad?
There has been a lot said about US jobs being lost abroad and procurement being in a position of influence with a significant say in large-scale spend decisions. But does the case for reshoring certain types of spend add up? Or is it politics?
The world in 2020
If you think life is interesting today, how will you cope when oil is $200/barrel, inflation is in double figures and the dollar is at parity with the euro? It might sound unlikely, but thinking five or ten years into the future allows some companies to manage risks and tap into opportunities well before their peers.
The tools of the trade
What are the leading organizations using in terms of technology? Are reverse auctions dead and is spend analysis ubiquitous? What technology innovations are being put to good use and what is the ROI?
Derisking the supply chain
How complex, global supply chains can be operated with the least amount of risk.
Skilling up the procurement team
What are the best methods for improving the capabilities of the procurement team, from partnering with universities to introducing a skills framework.
The pursuit of value
Value is a common word in business, but what does it mean and how can procurement contribute towards it?
