Anyone who have met him knows he is a positive and engaging leader. Eager to meet peers and to exchange ideas and experiences. Welcome to Daniel Johansson, Global Head Procurement Strategy & Excellence at CSL is joining CPO Outlook 2024!
On October 15th & 16th you who join the summit can learn from his keynote and choose to take part in his round table discussions.
There is an increased discussion about procurement excellence. A mindset and structure to help develop and push procurement to the next level. To cater for where businesses need to go to fulfill strategies from a procurement perspective.
Daniel will share;
Keynote | How do you develop procurement into a Hero Function?
We still hear the divide. Between procurement being a task based operations hub enabling the business to function (or just doing as being told). Or being the source of knowledge enabling the business to make the right sourcing and production decisions short and long term. Perhaps most likely a bit of both. Needing to be more of that business partner as more insight is needed that procurement knows the most about.
More and more companies are transforming procurement and engaging in enabling excellence in strategies and operations. But what does that mean? What does it mean when you still have more to do than you can handle? And more tasks are being added. How do you break down the goal for excellence into steps taken that help create a Hero Function with resources the business need and ask for?
During this session we will walk through changing environments. How – if you will – can you create a Brand Strategy for procurement?
- What role does processes and the choice of operating model have in creating excellence?
- How can and will technology play a part in enabling focus where focus is needed?
- Who will future procurement professionals be – what type mix of people may be desirable?
The upside with an EBG summit is that you can also speak informally to almost all keynote speakers. Daniel invite you to choose his round table discussions focusing on;
Theme Discussion | What do we mean by excellence in procurement – now and ahead?
No one can do everything and this is very true for procurement. Still procurement are asked to cater for more tasks than is possible to handle. Creating frustration and lack of both short and long term oversight and insight. CSL have embarked in a transformation and excellence journey – but what does that mean? Pharma too are undertaking changes in processes, systems and people to re-shape procurement. The pandemic proving the need for very agile ways of working and considerations on whether to be increasingly global or not.
Discuss lessons learned enabling competitive advantages through procurement.
- What is excellence to You and Your organization?
- How can procurement free up time to have the time to develop further?
- Who are the competencies procurement will need to become those business partners desired?

About CPO Outlook 2024
Take a look at the agenda. Tailored by what is important for a select group of people to discuss right now. In our opinion – most conference agendas are created in a way you cannot possibly get a full grip over what will take place. This is not how EBG operate. Still – each year the agenda is different from the past year simply because the world change and does corporate focus areas and procurement challenges.
One thing is constant though – the need to use resources more wisely. To adapt along with higher demands for insight.
How do you do it? When time is not enough as it is. When the world seemingly is spinning faster yet it takes forever to create changes in behavior, mindset and ways of working.
This is what we help each other figure out during an EBG summit. Make sure to >>register as seats are limited.
