The Procurement Initiative 

Shaping the Future of Procurement​

Shaping the Future of Procurement

Procurement must reinvent itself. Breaking out of the old world. Taking on more responsibility. To see oneself as an orchestrator who controls large processes and offers sustainable solutions. With suppliers as partners at eye level. And a shared vision for the big global issues.

 

The Procurement Initiative

  • ​builds a bridge between Procurement professionals, policymakers, and thought leaders in adjacent fields of sustainability, leadership, technology to fundamentally change how we operate in Procurement  ​      
  • provides a platform for fruitful discussions between accomplished Procurement professionals     
  • provides the latest research on critical topics and how to shape Procurement for the future provides actionable advice from the business world on how to stay ahead in Procurement

The Procurement Initiative Leaders Network

The Procurement Initiative Leaders Network consists of a select group of international CPOs and  Procurement Leaders – personalities who want to shape the Future of Procurement with courage and forward-thinking mentality. ​  

With regular round-tables, networking sessions, knowledge sharing and research discussion, The Procurement Initiative Leaders Network provides a platform for professional  forward thinking.
