The last few years have been tumultuous for procurement leaders - and that's putting it lightly. Companies have had to navigate resource limitations, changing expectations, and increasingly complex economic challenges. All of this while teams are expanding their engagements with outside vendors and signing shorter term contracts. It feels like we all need a restful 2024 to recover.
While it doesn’t feel like there is a slowdown waiting in the next year, join KR Barron and Michael Cadieux for a conversation of what you can actually expect to see in 2024. KR brings 20 years of procurement experience to the conversation, and they will break it all down, from
- How we can actually expect AI to impact our organizations this year
- What the C-suite is going to be expecting from their procurement leaders
- Top negotiation mistakes they have seen in 2023 and how to avoid them
- Ways the procurement community can learn from and support each other
