09:00 CPO Perspective | What is the Road Ahead for Procurement?

Procurement is evolving beyond the function of a super buyer and cost savings center. CPOs and procurement heads are now seen as the financial advisors of an organization, wearing hats including stock trader, contract manager and customer service manager. As procurement co-chairs spending, procurement is sharing a role in responsibility with the budget owners of an organization.
Geoff Parsons will draw from his extensive experience in procurement to consider:
• How can procurement best align with budget owners?
• How can we strategize and advise on spend and achieve desired outcomes?
• Where can procurement build a strategic approach to add value?
