What if you could follow the development of a brand new sourcing organization covering several countries? What the initial decisions were, what actions that were taken, how the development progressed and what lessons learned that can be shared.
EBG | Network are happy to welcome back Katarzyna Fabianska, Indirect Sourcing Director at DeLaval to Source 2 Pay Summit 2019. The summit – the 9th annual – take place March 28th in Stockholm.

Indirect spend stood for 50% of company spend and the entire process set up and ways of organizing and progressing was to be designed and decided upon.
What has happened since? What are the lessons learned? We have named the Theme Discussions – round table discussions – moderated by Katarzyna – How do you overcome the challenges creating a new function and changed ways of working?

About Source 2 Pay Summit
Since 2019 will be the 9th annual year Source 2 Pay Summit is held – we continue to look ahead by also looking back. What can we learn from “what happened then?” discussions? Where we can refer back to what was, what was intended, what became and what will?
We put a lot of focus on the people aspect when developing sourcing, procurement and finance strategies and operations as part of an end-to-end process. We also put a lot of focus on the role technology has supporting that aspect.
Source 2 Pay Summit is not a fair and do not offer easy answers – what we do offer are competent professionals who are eager to share and learn!
