The 2016 EIPM Conference is an exceptional one, as it will close the celebration of the EIPM 25th Anniversary with a look into the future. Throughout the Conference, we will ask ourselves: What will change for Purchasing teams in the next 25 years? We will look at the following sub themes:
We will look at how the business focus of purchasing teams can be strengthened and how they can better contribute to the company transformation within a fast changing business landscape.
We will investigate how purchasing teams can become more agile, how they can quickly embrace and respond to changes in the environment. We will debate around the new types of organization, process and skills that are likely to emerge in the years to come.
We will explore how we can look beyond existing strategic suppliers, find opportunities to bring value and innovate and build relationships with start-ups and other small innovative key players.
