Two New Seminars from Procurement Insights

(Conference No. 1) Developing a Dynamic Public Sector Supply Base

This seminar examines in detail the critical elements that public sector policy plays in terms of being the primary link between successful Domestic Engagement and effective International Cluster Development.

From a domestic engagement perspective, public sector procurement practices are leading to an erosion of the overall supply base resulting in an imperceptible yet steady and significant increase in costs.

In turn, the strength of a supply base domestically lays the foundation for a sound national economy by equipping suppliers to compete more effectively in the emerging global economy.  While globalization opens the doorway of opportunity to suppliers from around the world, current government policies may actually limit or hinder domestic supplier success.

Referencing case studies from around the world, attendees will come away with an understanding of the critical elements that have both a direct and indirect impact on their most important asset – suppliers.

(Conference No. 2) Dangerous Supply Chain Myths

In 2007, a comprehensive report was prepared by a consortium of organizations which attempted to predict the trends that will influence procurement practice for the next 25 years and beyond.

Based on the highly successful 7 Part Dangerous Supply Chain Myths series, the author will provide an in depth review of seven of the industry’s long-standing myths, and why they pose a very real and present danger when incorporated into organizational supply chain strategy.

From the Myth of Consolidation, to the emergence of Multiple Supply Chain Networks and the challenges of both Attracting and Retaining Talent, attendees will see their profession through an entirely new and distinctive lens.
