After many years of struggle and angst, procurement has finally reached the point where it is a ‘labor of love’ for the professionals who make up its ranks. And while enthusiasm within the profession is a huge step in the right direction, there is still work to be done if we are also going to win the hearts and minds of our cross functional teams.

Each CPO has the opportunity to place their team at the intersection of culture and experience, determining how procurement can advance and align with the overall corporate culture. The ultimate goal of this approach is for procurement to become a trusted advisor to the business.

In this AOP Live session, we will be joined by Colin Glazier, VP of Solutions Consulting at Zip, and Joe Frederick, Senior Director of Procurement & Sourcing at Snowflake, who will share their unique perspectives on the important role procurement play as a key enabler for innovation:

  • What qualities and actions define a world class procurement experience
  • The most common friction points that exist in procurement processes and the impact their have on the business
  • How technology can help solve these issues, and what people and process steps need to be taken first
  • A new discussion of the classic ‘make v. buy’ decision and how enabling technologies can improve the employee experience.
