At CPO Outlook 2025, Konecranes will host a Theme Discussion on how to connect insights, ownership, and action across the supplier lifecycle. With more than 20,000 suppliers worldwide, Konecranes has practical experience in balancing global oversight with local action. Tuula Tuononen, Global Process Owner, Procurement Excellence will guide the discussion.
Why this matters
Procurement leaders face increasing pressure to manage supplier risk, compliance, and ESG data across vast networks. The challenge is not just collecting information, but acting on it — ensuring accountability at every stage of the supplier relationship. Konecranes’ roundtable focuses on turning lifecycle management into a lever for resilience, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
What will be discussed
- How do you ensure risk insights (financial, ESG, delivery, internal intel) are captured and acted on across teams?
- What makes SRM truly “lifecycle-based” — and how can responsibilities be effectively shared in a decentralized setup?
- How can internal performance experience and external supplier data be merged to gain visibility beyond Tier 1?

Knowledge loop: from Xperience to Outlook
At the EBG | Xperience workshops earlier this year, participants underlined how supplier management is fragmented. Many organizations lack clear ownership, making risk and ESG integration difficult. This roundtable continues that dialogue, asking: how can procurement ensure lifecycle insights translate into concrete action across the business?
