[Editor’s Note: Join Ardent Partners on October 1st at 2 PM ET for the Sourcing Smarter: Accelerating Procurement’s Impact webinar, sponsored by Scout RFP.]

In the last six months, procurement and sourcing leaders have had to pivot creatively to source smarter, manage suppliers more progressively, all while improving contingency planning, and proactively managing overall risk. As the complexity of the business continues to accelerate, Chief Procurement Officers must adapt to these new market conditions and fight to retain market share and market relevance.

With that said, it is more important than ever that sourcing teams equip themselves with the right technologies to help them stay ahead of the curve. As the rate of business accelerates, procurement professionals need increased visibility, streamlined processes, and automated workflows to increase organizational efficiency and business impact.

The good news for CPOs and their teams is that they will not have to look any further than their own backyard; they can harness the leading business innovations and ideas already at work within the industry (and within their enterprise) and start to pave their own way.

During the webinar, Ardent Partners’ Founder and Chief Research Officer, Andrew Bartolini, will discuss the approaches to take to accelerate procurement’s impact during these unusual times. He will be joined by Jonathan Corbitt, Director, Procurement Business Solutions at Becton Dickinson, and Stan Garber, Scout RFP’s Co-Founder to go over the strategies to help procurement leaders emerge from this crisis stronger and more strategic than ever. Attendees of this webinar will:

• Learn how Becton Dickinson has been able to prioritize resources intelligently to maximize overall business impact.
• See how businesses are leveraging automation to improve sourcing and supply risk management operations.
• Hear the latest research on supply risk management and sourcing.
