1:40 PM Interactive Panel In The Round: Plan. Pivot. Repeat.: Can Category Strategies Keep Up With The Ever Changing Market?

Markets are changing faster than ever, leaving many procurement teams wondering if the category strategies they spent months developing are still relevant by the time they're implemented. From tariffs and supply disruptions to shifting demand and new technologies, today's environment is forcing leaders to rethink how category plans are built and maintained. Join this interactive panel discussion to discuss how leaders are creating more adaptable category strategies that evolve with the market, instead of falling behind it.

Key takeaways:

  • Shifting from calendar-driven reviews to market-triggered updates and regular market and supplier reviews 
  • Building flexible category strategies with ongoing processes to monitor market shifts and challenge assumptions 
  • Separating long-term strategic decisions from tactical levers that require a pivot as conditions change 
  • Anchoring category strategies in long-term business goals while keeping the path forward adaptable to changing technologies and market needs
