Future Procurement Leaders will gather procurement heads from companies across the region to talk about the changing role of the procurement function and the role of digitisation, transformation, leadership, talent and ecosystem in taking procurement to the next level.

A quick sneak peek into the 3-day programme we’ve prepared for you:

  • Developing a digital workforce: Empowering your employees with real-time insights, continuous trainings and data to exploit the maximum potential of the data and technology available and efficiently manage risks and achieve objectives

  • Supplier and customer collaboration: Building emotional intelligence, understanding and using supplier and customer data and insights to create a holistic ecosystem 
  • What next? 2019 has been hostile and uncertain. What to expect from 2020 and beyond and what do CPOs change from their current strategies and how do we be ready for whatever comes next?
