DPW 2022

is just a few days away, and the team and Cirtuo is looking forward to meeting all the practitioners, pioneers, and people interested in the latest development in the Digital Procurement space. We have been looking forward to attending DPW for quite a while since the pandemic made in-person events difficult. 

Cirtuo employees from around the world are flying into Amsterdam for two days of internal meetings in the Dutch capital before heading to the event on September 21-22. We’re looking forward to finally seeing you all again and talking about how our  solution enables the strategic transformation of your Procurement organization. 

We’re looking forward to spending some time in Amsterdam with like-minded people and can’t wait to meet in person! Suppose you can’t make it to Amsterdam and would still like to get some action. In that case, register here to watch the live stream event with Drasko Jelavic, and BT Sourced Founder and CEO Cyril Pourrat will participate in the panel discussion “Strategy in times of turmoil – the role of the procurement CEO.” 

The session, moderated by Susannah Streeter, will combine a conversation on the importance of strategies in a macroeconomic environment beset by change with a discussion on how successfully CPOs interpret the role in terms of more traditional CEO remits.

Let’s discuss agility, collaboration, integration, and artificial intelligence in procurement

What hottest topics would you want to explore with solution providers at the 2022 DPW event (Sep 21+22)? From what we know, the key topics are agility, collaboration, integration, AI, and sustainability (in particular SC-transparency) will be the predominant topics. That’s a pretty interesting great Top-5! Let’s bring these exciting topics to the table and discover how they can deliver solid benefits in your organization’s digital transformation process.

Cirtuo Guided Strategy Creation™ (automating and digitizing strategic category management) actually covers 4,5 of these topics already, while we are full-steam working on the remaining. Worth a closer look.

We look forward to seeing you at booth #21

Sustainable procurement is a very hot topic in the procurement industry at the moment. Organizations, particularly procurement professionals, are under increasing pressure to improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. In addition, big businesses and their stakeholders increasingly expect it from them. Elevating the role of sustainable procurement is crucially important and necessary in responding to these pressures.

Navigating complex business environments through category strategies – reflections on the Cirtuo Procurement Forum 2024

Twelve months. That is the time between the first and the second Cirtuo Procurement Forum. Twelve months, since we witnessed the resurrection of category management in Procurement with a renewed focus on customer centricity and aligning category strategies with business objectives. It is fair to say that the timing couldn’t have been better. Twelve months in which GenAI shook the business world, and Category Management claimed its place as the guiding light to navigate complex business environments.

Demonstrating tangible business value by implementing actionable category strategies

Too often, category strategies end up in drawers. They don’t get implemented, or struggle with low adoption. Reasons range from low stakeholder involvement or buy-in to limited practical applicability under given market conditions or simply botched implementations. With disjointed project planning, task management, and value-tracking activities, bringing the carefully created strategy to life is not a given. In the end, a strategy not implemented is a wasted strategy.
