12:30 Panel: Redefining Skillsets for a Next Generation Procurement Team

Attracting and retaining great talent, while also grooming for the next generation of procurement leaders, is a perennial challenge. Your procurement leaders of tomorrow require different skills than your leaders of today possess. This panel will help you decide how to determine what qualities you want in your new hires, how to spot potential leaders, and develop a comprehensive training program.

Determine the skillsets Generation Y needs to ensure success
Is your company willing to put the people in place, and spend the time to realize the savings?
How a CPO can work with universities to align curriculum to real life procurement skill-set needs
How to develop a stable recruiting source
What must-have skills are CPOs asking recruiters and headhunters to find for them?
Developing an internal organizational culture to nurture them, and win the retention battle
