For procurement leaders, 2013 was a remarkably stable year. For investors, it was a great one.
Ardent Partners does NOT expect more of the same in 2014.
Are you ready for 2014?
No matter your answer, Ardent Partners is preparing a webinar that will help you and your team get your bearings for what is sure to be a very interesting and potentially challenging year.
Next Thursday, January 23rd at 2 PM ET, Andrew Bartolini, with an assist from Christopher Dwyer, will share their perspective on the Big Trends and Key Predictions that will drive Procurement in 2014.
REGISTER HERE – Webinar is available from our sponsor, Puridiom.
Topics to be discussed include the ideas below and much more:
- In 2013, natural gas kept downward pressure on energy prices but Ardent believes that this will change in 2014. Join this webinar to learn what the implications of an expected spike in oil prices will have on global sourcing.
- The threat of inflation will drive interest rates higher in 2014, increasing the cost of capital for all firms. This webinar will share strategies that procurement and finance pros can adopt ahead the rise.
- The “internet of things” became part of the consumer lexicon in 2013. So what? Well, Ardent believes that there is a direct correlation between this new trend and the emergence of mobile solutions within the enterprise. Register now to learn more about the coming shift in enterprise technology.
But wait, there’s more.
