Big Ideas Summit 2016: Big Idea #21 – Creating Global Practices

Social media has opened up a global audience to procurement. Now the profession needs to leverage this to expand its role further.

At the Big Ideas Summit 2016, we challenged our thought leaders to share their Big Ideas for the future of procurement.

From ideas that have the potential to change the very nature of the procurement profession, to ones that got the assembled minds thinking about the profession’s impact outside of the organisation, the response we received was amazing.

Global Presence, Global Strategy

Siddharth Sharma, Strategic Sourcing Manager (SCM) at KPMG, believes that social media has given procurement the power to share ideas, thoughts and best practice. However, he also believes that this needs to be taken to the next level, to create global leaders and strategy.

Siddharth talks about the role of Governance and technology in procurement, and how all three of these aspects can be leveraged together, in order to advance the profession on a global scale.
