To kick off 2010 (and this site), I published a series of ten lists – our “10 for 2010” – where we made predictions, highlighted strategies, identified leaders [Sidebar: I plan to revisit a few of these soon]. I love lists and it was great fun. Now in our third year and with an audience that’s still growing each month, CPO Rising is still great fun for me. And, I still love lists…. which is why I’m excited to share Seven Trends that Will Impact Supply Management in 2012 in an upcoming webinar that is sponsored by TradingPartners.
Here’s the description:
Seven Trends that Will Impact Supply Management in 2012 – February 9, 2012 11 AM (ET)
Whether you believe we are approaching the end of days or are sitting at the dawn of a new era, one thing is certain: Sourcing and procurement teams will face daunting challenges in what expects to be a volatile and uncertain market in 2012. And, as markets continue to shift at an ever-increasing rate, an ability to adapt becomes as important as an ability to execute.
On February 9th at 11am ET , join Andrew Bartolini, the Chief Research Officer at Ardent Partners and Publisher of CPO Rising as he identifies seven key trends that will help sourcing and procurement leaders adapt, advance, and ultimately thrive in the year ahead.
