CVM Supply World 2008
“May you live in interesting times,” is an ancient Chinese proverb suggestive of
the risk and danger of living in an uncertain environment. Unfortunately, most procurement organizations are tasked with operating
in the context of this very statement. But even in the most challenging times, knowledge is the key to getting the very best results.
CVM Supply World, a nine-city tour throughout North America, is dedicated to providing procurement professionals with insight to make
better decisions in uncertain times. This free, half-day informational and networking event will provide tips to help procurement leaders
from across industries become more successful.
At CVM Supply World, participants will:
- Hear from industry experts and executives about some of the secrets to
getting results – even in volatile and demanding times.
- Understand what top performing organizations are doing differently (and
the
types of results that they’re achieving).
- Learn about the impact of the overall economic, trade and political
environment on the procurement world.
- Gain insights on the latest areas of investment and interest within
procurement (e.g., green and sustainable supplier initiatives, performance management, customer/demand management, etc.)
- Begin to understand the evolving role of technology in procurement – and
how traditional approaches will only get organizations so far in their quest for better savings, compliance and risk reduction.
- Better understand the role of supplier insight and content in making better
decisions.
