As signs of recovery have strengthened, the 4th annual ProcureCon CPO roundtables event has been designed by CPOs for CPOs to reflect the issues at the top of your agenda. Last year you asked us to deliver ‘real’ procurement examples of improvement. So this year, we have two keynote case studies - best practice strategies to optimise return from lean manufacturing, from Toyota, the company that derived the management philosophy of lean manufacturing; and a keynote case study from Dell on agile sourcing strategies from Asia and beyond whilst mitigating associated risk.
You also told us that your organisations operate globally and, subsequently, the issues affecting you are global, so this year, the topics of discussion will all focus on leveraging a truly global procurement structure. The keynote speakers and panellists on board to share their insights with you are all from global organisations with international remits.
Under Chatham House Rule, this is a unique opportunity to hear candid insight from
70 other C-Level procurement executives across industries on the problems they face and a chance to dig deep into the most fundamental strategic sourcing and purchasing management issues that concern you.
