Procurement nightmares: Learn from others' mistakes before they become yours

The webinar shows how adopting best procurement practices and technology can prevent supply chain failures and drive better outcomes.

Webinar

Have you ever had a “Sliding doors” moment? Where the consequences of a mistake in your supply chain could have been entirely avoided. Where PPI could have been readily available, where flu jabs arrive on time, or the launch of Boeing’s Dreamliner wasn’t affected by a lack of fasteners, or KFC hadn’t run out of chicken!

In this session, Charlotte Carter looks into the ways that supply chain issues could have been and can be avoided.

Despite today’s technology being able to address procurement failures, and learnings from the management of direct spend, best practices are not yet widely adopted in either the public or private sector.

Join us on a journey to an alternate universe to imagine what procurement could look like today if best practices were the standard – and learn that it is up to you, the procurement professional, to make a difference.
