On April 4th, Dr Hervé Legenvre, EIPM Value Creation Observatory Director, will host a Breakfast Conference on the topic: How to boost innovation using your supplier network?
Today, many purchasing teams have put innovation on their agenda. They have started some communication and launched a few workshops with key suppliers. They want to get more innovation out of their strategic partners and they wonder what role they can play with start-ups.
However, innovating with suppliers requires purchasing teams to make profound and enduring changes.
This breakfast conference will explore the foundations that Purchasing teams need to have in mind and in place to progress with innovation.
At EIPM we have performed research over the past five years on this matter and we have trained hundreds of people.
Today, we want to further help the profession to take the right steps forward.
This breakfast conference is designed for professionals interested in the topic and/or looking for inspiration and guidance to partner with suppliers.
Value Creation Observatory Director & Professor
As the Director of the EIPM Value Creation Observatory, Hervé acts as a Jury for the EIPM-Peter Kraljic Awards and regularly speaks at in-company and public events.
Hervé blends the best of the academic and practitioner thinking to create a unique learning experience and engaging content. He continuously looks at the trends that will shape the business world in the future.
He believes that the competitive edge of companies will increasingly be co-created with suppliers as innovation needs to be seized outside. He builds on his wide knowledge of invention, innovation and business excellence to create new tools and practices that help engage everyone on what counts most in a fast-changing world.
Previously, Hervé led the EIPM Executive MBA program and led the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) European Excellence Award. Additionally, Hervé worked for Renault Consulting where he led major change initiatives.
