Conference Highlights: Opportunity to learn how other service companies are modifying their structures to allow for expanded strategic procurement functions.
I was recruited to get the ball rolling on strategic sourcing in our company. It was a new function for me too so I just googled for Procurement events to go to. ProcureCon was the only event that fit the bill I terms of what I was looking to learn. I have been to three ProcureCon events in 2019!
Every ProcureCon event I have been to this year has given me a new tools, new strategies on how to build in procurement functions into our organization. I have already implemented so much of what I have learned from these events. To give a few examples:
ProcureCon has become a learning tool for me and my team. I already brought along my one of our new analysts to the event to help him expand his perspective on all the possibilities in strategic sourcing. I will be bringing others to ramp up their training and to get them thinking early about how we can undertake strategic sourcing as a function of our team.
