200 participants discussed the topic of sustainability in procurement at the 1st BME Sustainability Summit. In the accompanying workshop, the amc Group examined the maturity level of procurement with regard to sustainability. The balance: There is still a lot to do!
Sustainability is THE imperative for future-oriented business. Procurement organizations that focus on values ensure the competitiveness of companies. But this requires clear structures.
Dr. Ulrich Anders, Professor of Strategic Management at the Cologne Business School (CBS), will lead through the 3rd Future Workshop Procurement of amc and CBS at the Design Offices in Cologne on 26 September 2019. The event looks into future agile working worlds and organisational forms of procurement. The participants will work together in agile sprints on the topic of the Future Workshop „Redefining the value contribution of procurement with agile methods“. In addition a Keynote and impulse lectures of start-ups. Registration via this website!
Compliance with ecological and social requirements has been part of the day-to-day business of procurement ever since the climate debate. Procurement has a great influence on the supply chain. Sustainability is increasingly becoming a fixed evaluation criterion for suppliers, as the biggest environmental problems arise in the global supply chains. To achieve this, sustainability must be firmly anchored in the corporate and procurement strategy.
System implementations and digitization are costly and full of risks. And how can the value contribution of procurement be increased?
We see three success factors for a value-adding and thus successful digitalization of procurement. 1. Clarity about one’s own objectives and relevant criteria for system selection. 2. Realism, focus and openness in the implementation. 3. Measurable increase in value contribution through consistent system use. But how? A roadmap.
Under the slogan „Redefining the value contribution of procurement with agile methods“, amc and CBS will hold its 3rd Future Workshop on Procurement in Cologne on 26th September 2019. The successful concept provides a current insight into the world of agile working methods and organization. Use the Future Workshop as an important source of inspiration for your modern procurement and secure your place today!
Procurement spends a lot of time analysing order, performance and market data, especially as its operational tasks are increasingly receding into the background as a result of digitization. If artificial intelligence comes into play alongside classical data evaluation, further potentials and possibilities arise. Anyone who wants to use these methods should define concrete fields of application and gain experience in initial projects.
The Cologne Business School (CBS) and the amc Group cordially invite you to the 3rd Future Workshop Procurement on 26th of September 2019 in the Dominium design office location in Cologne.
New employees should quickly find their way around their job. To do this, they must be well integrated into existing processes and structures. However, it is often neglected to pass on knowledge and experience in a complete and systematic manner. The same goes for long-standing employees in change processes. For them, too, everything is suddenly new and they are not always optimally prepared for this situation.
Business Intelligence tools are among the standard tools in procurement. Procurement BI from amc delivers outstanding analyses, forecasts, KPIs, evaluations and benchmarks for effective strategic decisions.
