As custodians of huge quantities of third-party spend and owners of key relationships, whether in the business or the supply base, CPOs are in a position to impact shareholder value in many different ways. Only by dissecting value into the sum of its parts, however, are they able to determine where to focus their efforts.

At the
Procurement Leaders Forum, London, key speakers will investigate the ways in which procurement can contribute value through both traditional and more advanced techniques.
Topics on the agenda include:
- How procurement can influence shareholder value
- Developing greater synergies between procurement and the wider business
- Extracting value from key relationships - whether external or internal
- Hot new sourcing locations - from China to Africa
- The search for talent - where to find your most valuable commodity
- Innovation - bringing your suppliers on board
- Risk management in 2020 - from zero defects to full supply continuity
- Leaner and greener - a non-negotiable practice
- The impact of the world economy
- Fine-tuning your procurement organisation
The Procurement Leaders Awards take place the day before the London Forum, at the Brewery. With over 600 procurement professionals in attendance, it is a networking opportunity you can’t afford to miss.
