Procurious: Ramp up the Value | Expert Panel | Savings, ROI and the bottom line - how to keep the CFO sweet! | UK Roundtable Program Member-only event

After the successes and challenges of Covid, many procurement teams are looking to the future and how they can develop and consolidate their role.  Many think that procurement can take ownership of all the costs in the business and adopt what some are calling a full cost ownership or a zero-based approach.

Can procurement really step up and provide the positive impact on profitability that all CFOs would welcome?  Is a focus on cost drivers and value levers really the answer?

For our expert panel today we’ll be bringing Ed Cross, Nick Ford and David Thorpe from Powerhour providers Odesma to consider the strategic and tactical ways in which we can deliver for the CFO in 2021.

In this session our panel will provide us with insight into the following questions:

  • Is there still the potential to deliver savings from tried and trusted procurement processes?
  • Is this different in the direct and indirect categories?
  • What does full cost ownership mean and how does this work in practice?
  • What are the risks/challenges to this new role?
  • Where is the best place to start if you want to try this approach in your category?

 

This Expert Panel is provided as part of the Procurious UK Roundtable Program and is a member-only event.  To find out more about our Program please contact [email protected]
