花费很重要GM, Jenny Draper, was at ProcureCon Indirect last week - Europe's premier event for CPOs and Heads of Indirect from Europe’s biggest indirect spending companies. Here are her general observations from the two days, and we'll have more in detail next week.
If you attendedProcureCon Indirectlast Tuesday and Wednesday 2nd-3RD.4月，您将享受哥本哈根的优越位置和蓝天。根据您的托盘，午餐选择是一种获得的品味;牛排鞑靼，小牛肉和腌大黄在选择中。但会议内容如何？
开幕式演示文稿是以下主题：“定位采购作为一个值生成函数”。Jan Fokke Van Den Bosch，汇丰银行，米歇尔贝克，KPN，Marco Romano，采购数据和分析官员的CPO的20分钟的地址IBM.满足于他们自己的组织的经验，以及提高组织内采购价值的内容。我没有听过Marco Romano在之前说话，但享受了会议，我总是热衷于听到Jan和Michelle谈论什么;我喜欢他们如何分享经验和意见，都是启发和刷新。
The theme then moved along to ‘Embracing The Digital World’. Letitia Thomas, Programme Editor for ProcureCon Europe had told me that the big topic for attendees is ‘Digital.’ Google’s Vaishali Salmond, Strategic Sourcing Lead EMEA & Latin America, Google & Michael Tiano, Strategic Sourcing Manager, Google undertook the first slot under this theme and went into quite some detail about their process using machine learning for spend analytics. For those wanting to address their spend analytics this was a very detailed session.
A session which hooked me in was from Burkard Schemmel, Head of Enterprise Customer Success DACH & CEE, Amazon, under the title ‘Marketplaces in a digital ecosystem: How can you use marketplaces to promote your procurement organisation as a true business partner?’ He very much made the case for the effectiveness and efficiency of marketplaces in procurement. Given Maistro’s (a B2B marketplace for business services) presence as a partner at the event, I sense growth in this area of procurement, which I’d be delighted to see.
我谈到了Icertis主题“为什么合同管理应该是您的采购转型的基础”。对于Clm来说，我是一个旗帜，并且相信它在其他采购科技的阴影中迄今为止，尽管如此，这是一个商业关系的角色有多重要。
硕士课程，研讨会和小组讨论照顾下午的插槽，在主题中变化，但随着会议进展的是显而易见的，这是高级采购专业人士的人士，作为小组成员，担任与会者的主持和分享他们的经验。它在同行中感到非常合作，一个会议旨在促进关系建设和分享痛点和机会的会议，也许比我目睹了许多活动。
Day two saw a theme shift to procurement challenges: New Frontiers in Supplier Diversity, Risk Management & Sustainability, Transforming Procurement Strategy and round table discussions from vertical industry sector and procurement stream perspectives.
总而言之，我相信采购专业人士将在新的联系中远离活动，经验分享和想法来考虑实施。我的长度谈到了kieran sullivan，我们都同意这些事件往往更多地有关Reinviroate，新的关系，并根据客人的共同同行级别进行新的关系和协作机会。我会说这个活动当然袭击了10月份巴塞罗那的Procurecon欧洲类似讨论的标志和希望。
