10:05 Keynote Presentation: Reinventing Procurement To Move Beyond Savings

Once the opportunities for cost savings have diminished to close to zero, how can procurement adapt to the new reality? What are you doing now that couldn’t be conceived of two years ago, and how can you use that hindsight to forecast what you’ll be doing tomorrow? Does it make sense to look at procurement from an analyst perspective to develop new procurement processes? In this presentation, Joanna Martinez, CPO of Cushman & Wakefield will give you strategies on what to do once the savings have been squeezed out.
