Overview
On December 11, 2024 we hosted a webinar in partnership with SIG, featuring our North American Transportation and Operations Practices Partner, Alexandre LeFort. He discussed the future of procurement. This lively virtual event followed our participation at the 2024 SIG Summit, where we shared key takeaways from the panel and roundtable discussions.
During this webinar, we focused on the following priorities for procurement:
· Strengthening supplier relationships to unlock value and mitigate risk
· Investing in the right talent to create a strategy and vision for the procurement function
· The evolving future of procurement —shifting from supporting function to business unit
· Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and digital tools to support procurement strategy
Our experts also shared insights from our 2024 "Investment Priorities" report, which focuses on strategic priorities, AI in procurement, near-shoring efforts, and risk resiliency.
