If you were asked to reimagine how procurement brings value to an organization, where would you start? Would you focus on adding more capability and capacity? What about introducing yet more tools, processes, and technology? For years the profession has been seeking ways to ‘do more’ for stakeholders, yet universal relevance and respect are still a challenge.

Perhaps it is time for a different approach. What about ‘doing less’ rather than ‘doing more’? Could this be the game-changer? Could a simplified approach turn skeptical stakeholders into functional champions?

In this panel session moderated by Paul Vincent, Global Head of Services Procurement for Randstad Sourceright, you will hear from panelists representing both procurement and the insights of a budget holder. To innovate and focus on business impact, both perspectives must align to deliver results. You will gain access to an insightful approach to procurement that will not only elevate your value to the business but also will give you a new appreciation for the stakeholders you work with each day.
