09:05 The Next Wave: Approaching Procurement As A Strategic Advisory Function

In many companies procurement teams have been viewed as highly tactical and transactional. In some cases the situation is worse with procurement and purchasing organizations being seen as inhibitors of change and innovation. Through the case study of one of the largest divestitures in the pharmaceutical industry in recent years this presentation will provide examples of where procurement teams on both sides of the transaction really stepped in to provide strategic counsel to the C-suite within their respective organizations.
• Examine significant business changes leading to the need to take a step back and revise strategy
• Explore opportunities for optimization and considering “the big
picture”
• Getting a seat at the table and communicating the value
