Strategy execution competences at Sourcing Outlook 2019

For sure all have experienced that new management presenting what surely must be the best possible new organization structure. Best new way of improving business efficiency and effect. De-centralized becoming centralized – or the opposite. Outsourced being in-sourced – or the opposite. Local and regional becoming global – or the opposite. And so on.

But most also – probably – are experiencing that change is becoming the new normal – independent of management shifts. Markets are changing, needs are changing, consumer behavior is changing, technology is changing – and the demand to be agile is for sure changing. How to execute strategies are an important part of Sourcing Outlook 2019. This is true for all sessions but let’s highlight a few in particular.

What does that leave sourcing and procurement with to handle? What can sourcing and procurement do to stay on top of increasing demands to know and do more, probably with less?

As do focus on acting upon insights. Today it is becoming increasingly difficult to say “We didn’t know”. The possibilities to know and to act upon that knowledge are rapidly developing. As is adding automation to that knowledge. Even if research indicate few organizations have a ready supply chain digitalization strategy – for sure the change is coming.

How do you stay focused under constant change

What if someone told you that the business you know by heart will have to drastically change, and change fast? At Sourcing Outlook we will learn from Pär Jacobson, Senior Director Head of Global Procurement Strategy & Business Office at Volvo Cars. By 2025 – 50% of sales shall consist of electronic vehicles! You who join us will learn from both a keynote starting the day and Theme Discussions where You can ask all your questions.
