CASE STUDY DAY 1
A View Towards the Future of Sourcing & Procurement – The Increasing Role of Vendor Management
The role of the procurement has been changed in the last years. The essence of the procurement activities in the past does not meet the requirements of the VUCA times anymore. The procurement role and strategic target should be adjusted to the market and expectations of the internal and external stakeholders. The only one way to do procurement nowadays is to embed all the activities in the ecosystem of the companies and willingness to understand the expectations and needs. We need to reorientate our function and approach.
• The approach towards procurement yesterday, now and tomorrow
• Strategic direction for the procurement in the future
• Revenues from the procurement activities instead of savings – Why not?
• Ecosystem of companies' management as strategic goal for the procurement in the near future
