4:50 PM The Future of Work: Attracting & Developing the Next Generation Procurement Talent

According to a recent Deloitte global CPO survey, 60% of CPOs don’t believe their teams have the skills to deliver their procurement strategy. Procurement can be a talent pool for the rest of the organization, but only if it invests the time and resources to develop people who can provide deep insights into an organization, shake the business model and build functional expertise. And with so much changing as a result of digital transformation, how are we preparing our teams to thrive in a world of automation. What new roles are being created as a result? Staff movement is an inevitable part of business today, but how can we ensure our employees are effective in the short term? How is the gig economy impacting procurement? These questions and more will be addressed during this session.
