Procurement in the Spotlight

FEATURED SPEAKER

AGENDA OF THE EVENT

To survive times of crisis and thrive over the long term, companies will need to shift their strategic thinking, and many organizations recently (re-)discovered that Procurement’s role is crucial in times of uncertainty.

To lead organizations into the next new normal, procurement leaders and departments need to transform how they operate. Adopting a more agile operating model could help procurement functions scale up or down quickly to respond to sudden changes such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and ESG initiatives.

In this session, Jeroen Wegkamp, CPO from Royal KPN will present his views on how procurement has developed over its history to where it is today, what the main strategic opportunities are, and how procurement leaders can leverage and hold on to their increased strategic importance by anticipating future events.
