Beyond the Buzzword: Why Agility is Critical to Optimizing your Business Spend and Business Outcomes

Beyond the Buzzword: Why Agility is Critical to Optimizing your Business Spend and Business Outcomes

Deloitte + Coupa Webinar with Spend Matters

2021 may be in full swing, and business prospects look increasingly bright, but supply chains are breaking, supply markets are volatile, spending is constrained (and savings still prized), and stakeholders are impatient. Procurement leaders are struggling to meet all these demands in an uncertain environment. But, some of them are starting to “crack the code” to deliver high-cadence value improvements while also making their operations more resilient. Digital is core, but HOW you deploy and transform requires agility. Agility is no longer a buzzword, but a business necessity, and leading CPOs are showing the way.

View this insightful session as Michael van Keulen, Chief Procurement Officer at Coupa, and Max Goralnick, Managing Director, Deloitte Consulting, take a close look at the latest insights from Deloitte’s latest CPO study that highlights the trends, challenges, and opportunities that require agility from all procurement leaders, specifically:

• Value generation and improved supply chain resiliency in the face of unheralded complexity
• Improving process agility to stay tightly aligned with stakeholders and suppliers
• Leveraging next-generation operating models and platforms that harness talent and intelligence

You’ll gain the latest insights from the latest 2021 Deloitte Global Chief Procurement Officer Survey “Agility: The Antidote to Complexity”, which has served as the global benchmark research for procurement leaders worldwide; and the 2021 Coupa Benchmark Report that features practical KPIs for business spend management applicable to any organization. The session is facilitated by Pierre Mitchell, Chief Research Officer at Spend Matters, who is a well-known analyst and one of the authors of the study.
