In times of crisis, procurement becomes a critical function to help companies address both the immediate requirements to maintain business operations, and to ensure the company is stronger than ever once we emerge from the crisis.

Organisations have had to “react and respond” by immediately pivoting and focusing on cost containment and visibility whilst almost concurrently moving towards adapting to a new normal phase of greater supplier risk management and more agile investment decision-making.

To navigate this new normal and emerge stronger, organisations need to implement innovative strategies and technology solutions to help their overall procurement and supply chain systems remain resilient through the different phases of the crisis, by enabling their remote procurement function to remain agile during the crisis, and provide all stakeholders with insights that drive greater cross-business resilience.

The World-Class Procurement – Redefining Strategic Procurement in Times of Crisis Digiconnect boardroom will bring together Chief Procurement Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Financial Controllers, Purchasing Officers, Sourcing and Risk Officers from various organisations across multiple sectors as well as panel of experts who will share their insights and experiences on how organisations can reduce supply chain disruption and use the crisis as an opportunity to redefine the procurement operating model and enrich it with automation.
