Beyond Trends: “10 Transformational Realities” redefining procurement

EBG | Network invite you to an insightful online session grounded in a forward looking paper. What will impact procurement the most ahead? What does that mean to You working with procurement? Take the time to pause from your here and now tasks and join us and a knowledgeable group of professionals and look ahead.

When you hear the word ‘trend’ or ‘trends’ what immediately comes to mind? For most, it means that something new is on the near horizon, which of course is true. But lost in the ubiquity and vagueness of this definition is the real and practical impact that trends have on our profession.

Join EBG and Jon Hansen among a group of panelists:
– David Loseby, FAPM, FCMI, FCIPS Chartered, FRSA
– Phil Broughton, Head of Business Programs – The Americas, CIPS
– Chris Sawchuk, Principal and Global Procurement Advisory Practice Leader, The Hackett Group (joining us for the first half of the session)

Discuss what the top trends – and what they implicate on a more granular level – for procurement.

Date: March 12th 2019
Time: 2:30-3:30 CET
Place: Your computer/tablet/phone
Language: English
Cost: Free of charge but requires registration
Organizer: EBG | Network & Zycus

Perception versus reality

During the webinar we will focus on 10 transformational realities and trends – what impact will they have on procurement? You who join are welcome to make your voice heard – and get instant feedback from the panel. A perfect way to spend an hour and get maximum value out of it.

The aim is to go beyond the obvious and to try to be specific – what is the real impact trends may or may not have on procurement as a profession and function.

Three trends in focus

Much like overarching catchphrases such as digital transformation, beyond the cloud on-the-ground thinking is critical, if you are to truly understand what trends such as Artificial Intelligence mean to the way you work in the everyday real world.

In this webinar, joining Procurement Insights’ Jon Hansen will be an international panel of industry experts who will talk about the top ten trends for 2019 before zeroing in on the three specific areas that will have the greatest impact on procurement professionals right now and for the foreseeable future.

Focus areas during this webinar will be:

  1. Of the top 10 trends, the panel will be discussing, we will focus on the three that are likely to have the greatest and most immediate impact on procurement
  2. The panel will provide insight that reflects both the benefits and challenges associated with the top 3 trends
  3. The panel will provide direction on what you as a procurement professional must do to address said challenges and remain relevant

All who register will receive the slides and recording, joining us online will give you the opportunity to compare live with peers. Your online and registration details will only be shared with the co-organizer. We promise to take care of your time spent with us.
