I consider myself very lucky in that I really enjoy my work. And one of the things that I look forward to each year is putting together Ardent’s annual CPO Rising Summit. Over the years, my team and I have chronicled the progression (or rise) of the procurement profession. And, in many ways the role of the Chief Procurement Officer  (CPO) has been a great proxy for the profession. It is fair to say that a majority of procurement organizations have successfully advanced their operations over the last 20 years, particularly in the last decade.

This year, as in every other year that my team and I have produced this event, I was able to recruit a fantastic lineup of seasoned procurement veterans with nearly a century’s worth of combined experience leading supply chain, sourcing, and category management teams….and they did not disappoint. The 2019 Summit featured stimulating presentations and thought-provoking discussions on the role of the CPO as well as key strategies that will help bring the procurement function to the next level of performance.

But now that the 2019 Summit is in the rear view, my team and I want to quickly galvanize the enthusiasm from earlier this week and highlight the major takeaways from the event. With that said, I wanted to personally invite you to a new webinar, the Voice of the CPO Rising 2019 Summit, on November 14th at 2 PM ET, where my team and I will highlight the key speaker presentations and discussions that took place during the event.

If you have some time next month, I hope you will join us. Click here and below to register.
