Procurement Thought Leadership Opportunities for June 2014

Denali Group Shares Top-Line Findings and More with Procurement Professionals
 
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - June 10, 2014 - PRLog -- This month, Procurement professionals have an opportunity to learn the latest in industry thought leadership by registering to participate in two upcoming webinars and/or downloading Denali’s latest whitepapers through the Denali Group website: www.denaliusa.com.

On June 12, 2014 at 2 p.m. (EST), Denali Group Managing Partner John Evans will be discussing: Charting the Future of Procurement and Outsourcing, the Executive’s Perspective. During the webinar, he will share insights into the future of Procurement from the most recent SIG Global Summit executive roundtable discussion, which includes commentary from over 30 CPOs. Key topics include: stakeholder engagement, organizational trends, the future of supplier management, talent management strategies, and value identification and tracking.

On Wednesday June 17, 2014 at 2 p.m. (EST), Alan Veeck, Vice President of Denali Sourcing Services will be presenting: Embracing a Category Management Mindset: How to Think Like a Strategic Category Manager.  In this webinar, he will examine how the procurement function has evolved from purchasing to strategic sourcing and now to strategic category management. To leverage the power and latent value in an organization's spend and supply chain, individuals and their team need to think like strategic category managers.  Alan will discuss what it means to be a strategic category manager and review the essentials for a category manager's toolkit: internal spend analysis, external market assessment, strategic category plans, category playbooks, and centralized execution resources. All of these tools allow today's category manager to manage stakeholders more effectively, influence enterprise spend, and work more efficiently.

Also, this month Denali Group has released two new whitepapers available for complimentary download from their website. The first whitepaper is: The Procurement Technology Lifecycle  Part I: The Procurement Technology Landscape, which is part of a three-part Procurement Technology Lifecycle series. This series starts with “The Procurement Technology Landscape”—a look into the impact of the “cloud” and other changes in the market. The second part, “Funding the Technology,” covers the approach to how procurement leaders might seek to justify and fund these solutions. In the final part, “Beyond the Implementation,” we cover how an organization can successfully implement and adopt software, and then sustain its value.

The second whitepaper is Building a Talent and Knowledge Management Program: The New Imperative for Procurement Organizations. This whitepaper examines changes in the procurement talent landscape that have created a need for formalized talent and knowledge-management programs. Organizations must assess what evolving skills are needed and then attract and retain top talent by understanding their motivators. It is equally important to build effective processes to capture intellectual capital so that when shifts in workforce occur, an organization can manage the transfer of knowledge.
