From Cost Cutting To Value Creation: Procurement's Role In A Post-Recession World

26th of May 2010, London

In the last economic downturn in the early 2000s, many companies rushed to cut costs, but many of the cuts they made were not strategic and ended costing the company in the long -run. The decisions made today will impact how procurement is operating in a year or two years time, so they need to be well thought out and with an eye towards the future.

Moreover, many believe that the downturn we have experienced can have a lasting legacy for the procurement function and now is the perfect time to get procurement on the map. Few companies can afford to ignore their spend nowadays, and purchasing is in the spotlight more than ever. So how can you not only help your company in emerging victorious from the downturn but also establish procurement as a core function in your company and excel in your future career?

The Procurement Leaders Forum will bring together the most forward thinking global procurement executives who will share their experiences, benchmark and exchange their views on how to get procurement to the next level.
