Session 9: Driving Better Business Outcomes: How Data Driven Decision Making Serves Everyone

 

Supply chain and procurement professionals often get a bad rap for being progress prevention offices, and can be seen as an administrative burden vs. delivering real business value.  Similarly, business partners can be ill-equipped to understand or participate in a way that benefits the organization.  In this session, we will talk about frustrations and opportunities on both sides and how data solve as part of true value creation.
