Welcome to CPO Rising!
Welcome Address: The CPO’s Agility Agenda
Andrew Bartolini, Ardent Partners’ Chief Research Officer, welcomes our conference attendees and introduces the event theme: “Procurement Agility in the Age of Innovation.”
As the speed and complexity of business continue to accelerate, executives must adapt to new market conditions as they fight to retain market share and market relevance. Procurement departments, their operations, culture, and systems, the way in which they transform knowledge into strategies and those strategies into performance, must all keep pace. To do so, the CPO needs a new agenda… an Agility Agenda!
