EPE – European Procurement Excellence 2016

Shaping the Future

Providing procurement value in a complex world

In a world in which procurement is emerging as the key value driver for maintaining a company‘s competitive edge, the role of CPO is becoming more strategic. Today‘s rapidly changing business environment is characterized by

• Increasingly complex and valuable E2E supply chains
• Substantive growth of outsourcing
• Shorter product lifecycles
• Digitalization/Internet of Things
• Volatility of demand and exchange rates

Procurement leaders are continuously developing strategies to deal with these challenges. They need to provide a comprehensive view of where procurement is today and determine which changes will have a sweeping impact as we journey forward into the future.

Executives in charge of procurement are tasked with supporting innovation and growth in close cooperation with their supply chain partners. At the same time, they need to embrace global (digital) procurement strategies and manage people with diverse cultural backgrounds or different communication styles.

EPE 2016 is where Europe‘s leading CPOs share first-hand insight into their entrepreneurial approach to revamping procurement – and illustrate the tremendous returns achieved in the transformation process.

Take advantage of this chance to meet with fellow professionals and discuss the implications and opportunities that come with a global economic transformation of procurement.
