52nd Symposium Purchasing and Logistics

„Open markets instead of protectionism“ has been the oft-repeated mantra for the last 30 years. We have all thrived from free global trade and the openness in technological developments that have been enabled by the internet. But now the process of globalisation, international cooperation and networking is endangered by a breach with so far uncontested certainties of economic policies. The consequences for our economies and businesses are devastating. Successful and highly efficient international supply chains might break apart. Planning security for our companies is erased. Though, one thing is for certain: We shall all pay a high price for an economic policy shaped by protectionism and driven by populism!

Global networks of men and things bear tremendous opportunities. Though, to harvest these advantages a close cooperation not limited by departments, companies and even countries is an absolute must! We must resist all tendencies to erect new trade restrictions and instead strive to pull down all borders. The logic of internet-based connectivity is: Together we are stronger than if we act alone.

In this uncertain environment full of potential risks procurement and supply chain professionals need to re-shape their strategies. The aim is to identify so far hidden value contributions in their supply chains and to leverage them systematically. This will require three things:

‘ Engage the right people

‘ Design the right organisation

‘ Make best use of modern IT

Seize the opportunity to discuss with delegates from all industries and speakers from well-renowned companies how to future-proof your procurement and supply chain organisation and how to leverage the full potential of digitalisation. Take a look behind the curtain and learn how they set up their supply chain management, how they mitigate risks and decrease costs through supplier collaboration, innovation and standardised processes.

The 52nd Symposium is your platform to share and gain actionable insights and to discuss your success strategies with your peers. Come and learn from the leaders. You will leave with both future-oriented inspiration as well as proven best practices.

INNOVATIONSFORUM*

Disruptive Technologies – Curse or Blessing for Procurement? 14.45 – 16.30IF1

How disruptive technologies e.g. blockchain or robotics and approaches can enhance your procurement operating model and increase innovativeness

Over the past two decades, the main mission of procurement has broadened from cost leadership and assurance of supply to delivering strategic value. Disruptive technologies are now paving the way for new applications and capabilities across the procurement function that will enable even more strategic value. Digital supply networks and procurement analytics solutions are opening new possibilities in each of the key areas of procurement:

• Source to contract (S2C): predict demand with artificial intelligence in near real time

• Procure to pay (P2P): eliminate repetitive processing through robotic process automation

• Supplier Relationship Management (SRM): monitor potential for risks in real-time through the aggregation and visualisation of third-party data feeds

Disruptive technologies influence above procurement areas and will be necessary to embrace and nurture the new capabilities and meet heightened expectations.

Join us and discuss in an interactive session if this will be a curse or blessing for the procurement function.

Hosted by:

Dr. Philipp Zimmermann, Director Deloitte
