MISSION STATEMENT
Come together to share ideas and concrete examples of how procurement can tackle market challenges that go beyond what you are used to.
How can procurement manage price pressures, supply shortages and logistics challenges?
Procurement have always had too much to do, ad hoc challenges on a daily basis and corporate strategies placing high demands especially on procurement is norm. However – the price fluctuations, material shortages and logistics challenges seen the past year go beyond what most have experienced to date. When will we know if this is a new normal and must not procurement prepare for if it is? Organizations have worked so hard to globalize, secure processes, risk mitigated, ensured supplier audits and a total reduction of suppliers. How do you as a procurement professional tackle fluctuations and rapid shifts now – and ahead? Here you will come together to discuss just that. Beyond competition you will share ideas and practical advice in the group across industries.
We will discuss;
- How have you been affected by material shortages, logistics problems and price pressure?
- How are you working with suppliers to get ahead of supply challenges?
- What measures do you take to ensure quick supply alternatives?
- In what ways do you create structure and processes for alternative suppliers?

About Sourcing Outlook 2021
An EBG summit is not a conference – either physically nor online – you sign up for, forget or possibly log on to/join just to listen to people speaking. Since the start in 2010, EBG have enabled round table discussions. Smaller groups coming together led by a dedicated moderator. Groups discussing matters that matter here and now – all based on what that moderator find interesting to talk about. Seats are truly limited, an EBG summit are open for a maximum of 130 delegates – online or on-site. Only then we can assure as many as is possible meet and interact.
As soon as you >>register you can start choosing what Theme Discussions to join. EBG connect you prior, during and after (should you want to). Since the spring 2021 EBG have created an online platform where you can stay in touch with those you met during the summit (via EBG | Community).
