Join the Ardent Partners analyst team and special guests on Thursday, April 25 at 2:00 pm EST for the must-attend procurement event of the spring — CPO Rising 2019: #ValueExpansion! Click to register!
For the average procurement department in 2019, the low-hanging fruit has been picked. In fact, for many procurement teams, the trees are largely barren, having been picked clean during the last 10 years. Procurement departments and the profession, more broadly, need new sources of value and, they will need to start using innovative ideas and approaches to find it.
Not every procurement organization has plateaued; some have strong momentum as they head into the next decade. In fact, many procurement organizations have the opportunity to jump to a performance trajectory by simply doing the basics, or, doing the basics better or well. Ardent Partners research clearly shows that there are just as many procurement teams and CPOs that need or will soon need a catalyst to expand the impact of their work on operations, costs, profits, and even sales. Identifying these catalysts and helping to frame the different ways that CPOs can leverage them is the focus of this CPO Rising 2019: #ValueExpansion report.
Join Ardent Partners on Thursday, April 25 at 2 PM EST, for a complimentary webinar as we introduce the forthcoming benchmark research report, CPO Rising 2019: #ValueExpansion (click to register).
