Jim Townsend

Chief Property & Procurement Officer Asda

Day 2 | 23rd September

2:35 PM Presentation:Commercial Intelligence At Scale: How to use contract-backed data to move faster across indirect spend & improve time-to-value

  • What "high value procurement" actually needs (it's probably not what your C-Suite and Chairpeople think it is)
  • Running procurement in a PE-backed turnaround: lost margin, highly leveraged, and a return clock
  • The first two months: resetting exec expectations, building personal brand; before touching a single process or tech stack
  • The right time to introduce technology, and what the real considerations are
  • Connecting your team to the P&L and Balance Sheet, without killing the place they work (and even having a bit of fun along the way)
