Stora Enso join Sourcing Outlook 2021

In a day and age where we have information overload. Online activities that available for all. Possibilities in a digital era that seem endless. How do you make use of all of that? How do you know what to focus on now and ahead – you do not live in a void, you have more than ever on your plate!

It is with these insights EBG was founded back in 2010. With the idea of bringing people together that can draw from each others experiences – for real. The idea that if we ask great people what They would like to discuss with a smaller group of peers – all our summits will stay real and up do date.

Also now. When we still – some 18 months into the pandemic – cannot meet physically. EBG still enable You to come together in smaller groups for what we call Theme Discussions – online round table discussions. Discussions You choose to join based on what You find interesting. Real people sharing real insights.

EBG have a great group of people to present to you joining Sourcing Outlook 2021! First out is Julia Diekmann, Manager Processes & Digitalisation (S2C) at Stora Enso. Julia will host round table discussions on November 25th focusing on comparing notes about how to best automate and digitize sourcing and tender activities.

We know you know this – but there are no simple answers – Benchmark mean sharing ideas and experiences in a peer group.

MISSION STATEMENT

After this session people joining will have drawn from sourcing development experiences in the group. How well (or not) e-tenders and e-auctions may work and what pitfalls you may want to avoid.

Benchmark | How do you automate and digitize sourcing and tender activities?

One important aspect of digital procurement is the tender and sourcing process. Creating ways to fine tune and automate sourcing, refine and shape on a broad scale. But what can we expect from the future and how far have companies taken for instance e-tenders and e-auctions? Isn’t it so that e-mails and excel sheets are still pre-dominant in most companies? Why? ”This is not the way I am used to” might have been heard in your organization. During this session you will learn form the experiences Stora Enso have embarking on their digitization journey. Most of all you get to compare note with each other – what are good and bad experiences you can share with each other and come out the wiser from this session?

Learn from each other;

  • How do you handle your sourcing initiatives?
  • What tools and integrated ways to create tenders and source do you use?
  • Do you have an end to end process and system working?
  • Can a robot run a tender?
  • Where are tenders moving ahead?

Theme Discussions with EBG | Network

A picture may say more than a thousand words – below one describing what Theme Discussions are all about.
