Join this expert panel discussion on "Procurement Strategies," sponsored by Coupa, featuring an opening statement by Tricia Miller, SVP, Product Marketing at Coupa. She is joined by leading procurement strategists: Niklas Bronnert, Sr. Director / Head of Procurement Strategy & Performance Management at Lufthansa Group; Rob Turner, Chief Procurement Officer at Deliveroo; Isabella Moise, IT Procurement Partner at SimplyHealth; and Andrew Roper, Global Head of Procurement at Clyde & Co. The panel kicks off by exploring how procurement strategies have fundamentally changed over the past decade, driven by evolving market conditions, and what a "great" strategy looks like right now compared to five years ago. The discussion delves into critical contemporary challenges, including adapting to instability, managing cyber risks within the supply chain, and balancing risk avoidance with cost control. Rob Turner shares insights into the recent strategic transformation at Deliveroo. The experts also tackle the shift from transactional relationships to deep partnerships, addressing the challenges of bringing smaller suppliers onto new tech platforms. A significant part of the session is dedicated to the role of emerging technology, specifically discussing how AI is currently being used, its impact on the procurement workforce, and whether it is creating new talent gaps. Finally, the panelists discuss how to better leverage procurement’s position within the wider business and predict how strategies will continue to evolve in the next few years.
