Sourcing Strategically in Chaotic Conditions

We regularly have the opportunity to watch chaos at work in global markets, but procurement teams should see this as their chance to shine, not a reason to shy away from the challenge.

There are any number of procurement strategies that can be applied, even in difficult times, and many of them are tried-and-true approaches that have delivered results in the past. These strategies just need to be rediscovered and reapplied by courageous procurement leaders.

In this AOP Live session, we will be joined by Adam Collins from Esker to discuss the opportunity - yes, the opportunity - procurement has to leverage the strengths of strategic sourcing in chaotic conditions:

- Fostering competition to drive both cost and value from supplier engagements
- Proactively using price discovery and contract audits to uncover new savings opportunities (or mitigate potential increases), ultimately expanding and elevating procurement's value proposition
- Remembering to manage payment timing, either in support of working capital objectives or as a negotiating lever

Optimizing Services Spend Management for Maximum Impact

Services spend management often falls into one of two categories: a few highly strategic partnerships that are well managed and… everything else.

If ‘everything else’ services spend is left to follow the path of least resistance, procurement is leaving behind a huge opportunity to increase value and mitigate risk.

Addressing unmanaged services spend at scale is a massive opportunity to impact the business - and for procurement to elevate themselves in the eyes of executive leadership and decision makers at the same time.

Join Cheri Vander Moren, Lead Indirect Sourcing Manager at Amway, Mark Sawicki, Senior Vice President at Guidant Global, andBen De Wulf, Client Solutions Architect at Guidant Global, for a conversation that will address every stage of the services spend management maturity journey:

- Who should own the value creation process associated with services?
- How can procurement get stakeholders to ‘buy in’ up front?
- What are the minimum standards and benefits that my programme should deliver from day one and how do I structure my strategies to evolve as my programme matures?
