This week, we hosted 2023 ProcureTech Predictions & Purpose.
Joined by an expert panel of leading corporates, we discussed the 2022 ProcureTech100’s predictions, providing a unique leaders’ view of what’s in store for digital procurement in 2023.
Over 70 predictions for 2023 were provided by the ProcureTech100 pioneering digital solution providers which provided inspiration for the panel discussion.
The webinar elicited engaging conversations between the panel, each sharing their own experiences, successes and struggles of using and looking for the right digital solutions. The attendees also voted on the predictions that they consider most relevant and likely to happen.
The panel
– Dr Elouise Epstein (Partner, Kearney)
– Vanya Petrovic (Director, Digital Procurement, Coca Cola Europacific Partners)
– Sam De Frates (Global VP – Commercial Performance, Capabilities & Services, Mars)
– Mark Smith (Procurement VP – Digital & Talent Supply, BP)
– Lance Younger (Founder & CEO, ProcureTech)
The conversation was engaging…
“Curation is key… We’re always thinking of practical ways to incentivize suppliers to use sustainable methods.” Vanya Petrovic
“Risk: when the tide goes out, you see the old pipes and rusty trollies. Then you can see who had your back; who was there to help you out? Or who was just there to get their invoice?” Sam de Frates
“Total Talent Management, AI and Analytics capabilities will be essential, especially to manage new categories of spend” Mark Smith
“If your data’s not good, guess what’s not going to be good… your output!” Dr Elouise Epstein
