Show Notes

“It's not about the ‘what’, it's about the ‘how’, and I don't think we're doing enough with the ‘how’ at the moment in the private sector.”

As social value remains front and centre of public sector procurement, and grows in relevance in the private sector, are there more complexities and variables than ever when it comes to initiating successful procurement transformation?

The debate around transformation programmes, technology in procurement, social value, the role of aggregated data and more was the intriguing centrepiece of our Talent Talks Live event in March.

It was a pleasure to be joined by Guy Battle, Jonathan Bearn, Kathryn Gillard and Paul Bestford to take on the steps to achieving procurement transformation with buy-in from stakeholders and a platform set for future success.

This episode of Talent Talks covers:

  • What procurement transformation entails, and how to achieve buy-in with key stakeholders
  • The weighting of social value in procurement transformation programmes
  • How technology can provide value beyond its primary purpose
  • Whether we’ll see an increase in anonymous, aggregated data to help CPOs make key decisions
