Procurement Leaders Forum (Boston, MA) (8:00AM - 11:59PM)
During the past two years, procurement has come into its own. Challenged by chief executives and CFOs to deliver the savings that would help their businesses through the worst recession in living memory, by and large they delivered. Now it's time to go a step further.

Looking to the future, procurement must become a true partner of the business; it must deliver value, innovation and competitive advantage as much as it does savings; and it must attract the best talent on the market in order to do so.

The Procurement Leaders Forum will bring together the top procurement, sourcing and supply chain management professionals from leading worldwide organizations.

Topics in focus include:

• Business alignment
  Speaking the language of finance, focusing on profit and delivering cash: How CPOs can better align their function with wider corporate goals.
• Innovation
  Leveraging supplier relations to maximise new innovations for the good of the wider business. The innovations that leading-edge organisations are adopting; from crowd sourcing to the latest technology.
• Talent & skills
  How can procurement attract the best talent on the market? What strategies can CPOs employ to increase the attractiveness of sourcing as a career? What skills must modern procurement professionals have in their locker?
• Streamlining supply networks
  Working with the supply chain to streamline processes and linkages; how can CPOs ensure that suppliers are putting everything into the relationship? Treating the supply chain as a single, competitive entity.
• Procurement outsourcing
  What are the pros and cons of outsourcing procurement? Can strategic sourcing really be delivered in an outsourced relationship?
• Risk management
  The processes CPOs must adopt to manage supply-chain risk more effectively. The role of scenario planning in modern procurement functions. How to avoid the Toyota syndrome.
• Global sourcing
  Tackling the TCO of global sourcing. The benefits of globalisation versus regionalisation. Next-generation sourcing locations.
• Sustainability
  Tips to incorporate social and environmental practice into the procurement process. How CPOs can force change in the supply chain without passing the buck and focus on leading the agenda rather than policing the agenda.
• Procurement transformation
  Implementing new business models and transforming the procurement function to meet the needs of a growth economy.
