EBG | Insight: Shaping the future of businesses | Coupa insights

There are a lot of demands on procurement these days. Be agile, stay connected with the markets and stakeholders, cut costs and increase growth, innovate production, inform all, stay informed, reduce risk and stay on top of all possibilities available. Having a CEO, CFO, functional leader AND supplier focus at all times.

How do you even do that? We asked Michael about his view.

Michael come from years of working as a CPO and working within finance. Giving him a much needed end-to-end perspective valuable also given the company he work in today – Coupa. Why would I say that? Who are Coupa? And who is Michael? View the interview below to find out!

Shaping businesses and staying afloat

Months and years to come will show us how well companies used past months crisis to build better businesses. More sustainable businesses, more reliant businesses and more insightful businesses. It is stated that digitization is taking leaps due to the apparent lack of insight many companies have faced.
