The analyst team at Ardent Partners has a busy month planned on the research and webinar front so over the next few days, we’ll share (and invite you to) our April appearances. The first one up will be great one, based upon my annual CPO Rising report:
This decade we’ve seen businesses gripped by convergence, pushing together business units, organizations, and products. In procurement, this corporate convergence is evidenced by the CPO whose role has become one of expansion and convergence.
Hubwoo invites you to attend its sponsored webinar on April 9th as Andrew Bartolini, Chief Research Officer of Ardent Partners reviews his annual benchmark report findings: CPO Rising 2014: Convergence, with an industry-wide view into what is happening in the world of procurement today, drawing on the experience, performance and perspective of 273 CPOs and procurement executives.
Topics Andrew will cover:
- Procurement’s “urge to converge”
- The “State of the CPO,” including key drivers and challenges that shaped 2014 priorities
- Procurement performance benchmarks to use to evaluate your group’s performance
- Best practices and strategies for success
