Embedding advanced strategies to anticipate, monitor and mitigate risk

FOCUS DAY - 8 NOVEMBER 2011

Procuring across multiple geographies, industry verticals and service functions presents a multitude of risks – that’s not taking into account political unrest and natural crises. The Procurement Risk Management Focus Day will showcase 6 case studies of global organisations balancing service delivery risk and return in an increasingly volatile environment. Share, question, debate, then take away practical examples and proven-to-work processes that can be incorporated into your risk management framework.
