Got What It Takes to Speak at DPW2021?
Procurement is at an inflection point where we need to start taking bolder steps. The incrementalism approach everyone has been undertaking is not going to move the needle significantly enough.
The DPW2021 agenda topics are framed against:
- How to do digital procurement – the why and the what is easy
- Moving beyond “Test-and-Learn” – that’s where it gets real
- Making the profound change and how digital is forcing that
- Building and managing digital ecosystems in procurement
- How do we break the status quo?
"The best line-up of speakers and startups I’ve seen at any procurement event to date."
