More than 70 procurement professionals helped kick off SIG’s three-day Procurement Technology Summit by joining an online CPO roundtable discussion that yielded insights on key issues like resiliency during the Covid disruption, ESG’s importance, metrics for procurement, talent acquisition and what role technology plays in reshaping procurement team’s relationships inside companies and outside as people work from home.
“Some of you have told me that these CPO roundtable discussions turn out to be almost a therapy session because you get to just tell it from the heart,” SIG CEO & President Dawn Tiura said in her introduction. “We love that. So this is your chance to ask your colleagues what they’re thinking, how they’re doing and what are they going to be doing.”
