AdobeStock_DialPOctober

We have an extra special event taking place on Tuesday of this week. Dial P for Procurement, my monthly livestream on Supply Chain Now, has been selected as the launch platform for the 2021 State of Supplier Diversity Report. Supplier diversity is undoubtedly the highest profile executive concern of the moment, but the team at supplier.io has been studying these programs from launch to maturity for a long time. They have five years’ worth of information to share – and let me tell you: based on what I have seen, the data tells a very compelling story. Join us to engage live and find out where to get your copy of the report.

If you are planning your webinar schedule beyond this week, I recommend “Futureproofing your S2P Strategy: Solution Ecosystem vs. Single Suite” from the Executive Learning Network, Forrester, Sievo, basware, and Sirion Labs on October 27th.

If you haven’t already, sign up for our mailing list to be sure you get my weekly recommendations in your inbox each Monday.
