Mission Insight Digital Procurement

October 13, 2021 by sououtl16

Join an insightful session open to all in the main room. In the afternoon you can join the Theme Discussion (round table discussion) led by René.

To what extent is digitization changing spend management and value realization in procurement?

Do you agree on the Deloitte explanation of Digital Procurement? ”Digital procurement is the application of disruptive technologies that enable Strategic Sourcing (S2C) to become predictive, Transactional Procurement (P2P) to become automated, and Supplier Risk Management (SRM) to become proactive.” Know your data and automate as much as is possible. Even though technologies such as RPA, AI and Machine Learning have been around for a while – supply chain and procurement could be more digitized. We talk a lot about Digital Procurement – but what does that actually mean to organizations? Some are de-centralized, some centralized, have numerous ERPs, face cultural differences, have lack of organizational buy in, inefficient data management, budget concerns and more affecting strategy success.

During this session we will learn from different industries and how they perceive digital procurement developments.

We’ll discuss;

  • How far do you think digitizing procurement can go in a large organization?
  • Where is your organization on that journey?
  • How have you organized digitization initiatives?
  • Give an example of a specific problem digitizing have solved in your organization
  • What have been key to succeeding with your digitization strategies to date?
  • Are you using one solution, one way to digitize and automate all spend categories?
  • What is your focus ahead?

Mission Insights Sustainable Procurement

September 20, 2021 by sououtl16

Listen to your peers reflecting over matters that matter! Reflection presentation open for all in the main room.

What role can procurement play ensuring sustainability strategies come true?

The world needs it, companies taking action to ensure a more sustainable future. To meet our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Annual reports and corporate mission and vision statements are filled with them – the promise of safe guarding natural resources as well as social and economic resources. Sustainability is more and more becoming a strategic imperative every day.
In the middle of those strategies you find procurement and an ecosystem of suppliers. Supply chains becoming increasingly complex. Procurement ensuring both resources are used efficient and that company solutions and offerrings are sustainable.

During this session you will learn about how different industries perceive sustainable procurement strategies and operations.

We’ll discuss;

  • Which sustainability goals have your company set up (Net Zero, Circular, Social Trust etc.)?
  • What does sustainable procurement and responsible sourcing mean to you?
  • How do you translate your corporate sustainability goals to procurement strategies and operations?
  • What financial and revenue connected impact have you found working with sustainable procurement?
  • What impact have and will standardization have enabling sustainability targets within procurement and supply chain management?
  • How are you controlling and engaging with your supplier ecosystem to ensure insight?
  • In what ways are you monitoring sustainability KPIs and supplier commitment in end to end operations?
