Public procurement is often misunderstood. While frequently viewed as a back-office function focused on navigating complex rules and time-consuming processes, it has the potential to be much more valuable. Leading organizations understand that modern procurement is a strategic function that can work across the entire organization to improve efficiency, risk management, access, business continuity, and customer service, both internally and externally.
In this session, speakers will provide case study examples demonstrating how governments of all sizes and types can benefit from strategically upgrading their procurement function. Learn the skill sets necessary to succeed in a modern procurement office and discover how to transform your procurement function to focus on outcomes, become a strategic partner within the organization, improve relationships with suppliers and community partners, and add value at all levels of government.
