The Conversation
Three Strategic Tensions We’ll Tackle Together
Your teams are skilled. Your challenges are clear. But somewhere between capability and execution, momentum stalls.
1

Building Teams That Can Actually Act

How do you give skilled teams the mandate to execute — without losing governance? When everything needs cross-functional collaboration but procurement rarely has formal authority, what does empowerment actually look like?

2

Managing Complexity You Can’t Control

You’re accountable for supply chain risk, sustainability compliance, and bridging Finance, Sales, and R&D — often beyond Tier 1 visibility. How do you prioritize when everything is “critical”?

3

Making Technology Work for You

47% face pressure to automate while 42% face budget freezes. How do you invest in AI and digital tools that actually ease workload — rather than adding another system to manage?

From 2025 Participants
What People Took Away

“Very professional! Great networking opportunity and a great way to gain new insights in what challenges and opportunities that others experience.”

— NCC Industry, Gothenburg 2025

“A spot on event, a really good mix of presentations with discussions afterwards in smaller teams. Very good set-up with a very important topic.”

— AB SKF, Gothenburg 2025

“First time for me — really interesting to hear that all companies are more or less facing the same issues.”

— Bravida, Stockholm 2025

“Prioritize, prioritize & prioritize in order not to fall under all data and knowledge. Start small, eat the elephant in pieces.”

— Olvi, Copenhagen 2025
The Format
What Makes This Different
Diagnostic frameworks, not best practices. Interactive mapping exercises help you see where your organization actually stands — and what barriers matter most.
Peer learning at the table. Roundtable discussions with 5–6 peers tackling the same strategic dilemmas together.
Honest conversations about shared uncertainty. This is about shared challenges, not polished success stories.
Cross-city learning. Insights from Stockholm inform Malmö, building collective Nordic wisdom through the series.

Who Should Attend

  • Chief Procurement Officers
  • Heads of Procurement
  • Procurement Directors
  • Senior leaders responsible for procurement transformation

One participant per company to ensure diverse perspectives. Maximum 30 practitioners per city.

What You’ll Leave With

  • Clarity on where you stand — diagnostic frameworks that reveal real organizational barriers
  • Peer insights you can use — how others navigate the same strategic tensions
  • Permission to be imperfect — shared challenges, not polished stories
  • Cross-city learning access — insights accumulate across the series

This is an application-based Focus Day series. We select participants to ensure role diversity, company diversity, and fit with the strategic themes.
