Day 2 | 23rd September

9:10 AM Keynote Presentation: Building a stakeholder-centric procurement function that focuses on business outcomes

  • Most procurement value is won or lost before a sourcing event begins. How well the business need is understood and translated into a defined outcome is the critical factor
  • Graham Copeland and Ana Grujicic examine the challenges of supporting budget holders, and how procurement can engage early rather than simply service reactively
  • The session also explores how digital and AI capabilities help procurement provide visibility and support sharper definition. A practical session on asking better questions and agreeing what success looks like
