BeNeering Chief Revenue Officer on her first ever ProcureCon Connect event:
In 3 words: I was impressed.
- By the quality of discussions – depth and relevance.
- By the readiness of all participants to share their experiences – also failures.
- By the number of concrete ideas from so many companies!
A few key takeaways for me:
- supplier relationships (in all aspects: resilience, ESG, social responsibility, risk management) is on top of the procurement execs agenda
- at the same time, digital support of procurement was a topic in all sessions: AI or not AI? And if AI – then – what and how? Lots of good examples from companies benifiting from AI already
- quality of data is a serious showstopper for wider application of digital tools — AI first of all — and is a radar for improvement or already work in progress in most companies.
Looking forward to the next event in Vienna!
