We also take a close look at the role of the Chief Procurement Officers (CPO) and the level of engagement and alignment this leader has within the enterprise today, as well as the key drivers and challenges that shape the position.

This webinar, scheduled for Thursday, April 29th @ 2 PM ET, is also the world premiere of Ardent Partners’ annual State of Procurement and the CPO research study. If you are a CPO or work in sourcing, procurement, or supply management, DO NOT MISS THIS WEBINAR! Everyone who registers for the webinar will receive a copy of the full report at no charge.

Since 2006, Ardent Partners’ Chief Research Officer, Andrew Bartolini has chronicled the procurement industry in his annual “State of Procurement” report. Each year, Ardent presents the findings from its annual study with a deep and penetrating look at what is happening in the world of procurement today while also delivering a rich tapestry of data, knowledge, and insights that help guide CPOs and their teams to improve performance. Ardent will discuss all this and provide a series of recommended strategies and approaches for CPOs and procurement departments that want to improve their operations and results.
