Smart data and real insights instead of transactional facts

In the age of big data harvesting a huge amount of data is cheaper & easier than ever before in all areas of business, also in Procurement. This shifts the current focus very much on the quantity of the data and it is easy to lose sight of the quality and potential strategic insights altogether. An ocean of transactional data rarely provided strategic insights though. In this webinar we would like to discuss the four key challenges when collecting strategic data in Procurement and what you can do to get your company a step ahead of the competition.

How to incentivise your suppliers to reduce their CO₂ footprint

Free webinar with TWS Partners & carbmee

The fight against climate change is probably the biggest global challenge of the 21^st century - inevitably it will also affect the way Procurement organisations think and act. CO₂ has already become a currency on its own - there are almost no major businesses that don't yet have targets to reduce emissions throughout their supply chain. But what are the first steps in implementing these strategies? How do you even measure your suppliers' carbon footprint? What are best practices for achieving savings and improving quality, while also reducing the carbon footprint of your supply chain? Managing all of these factors while minimising trade-offs can be a complicated challenge. Join carbmee and TWS Partners' decarbonisation webinar to learn more about how to:

• measure your suppliers' carbon footprint
• manage the trade-off between costs and carbon reduction
• incentivise your suppliers to reduce their carbon footprint

Behavioural scientists estimate that we make about 35,000 conscious decisions every day. As we do not have the time to evaluate each single decision at length, our brains have developed cognitive shortcuts so we can make those decisions more efficiently. While this saves us loads of time and effort, it is unfortunately very prone to error. Often we make sub-optimal choices without even realising it. In this webinar, we will explain: • How our brain processes information and how these shortcuts are sometimes influenced by our environment • How some of the most common cognitive biases prevent us from making the optimal decision • How awareness of the limitations of human decision making can help you improve business performance

As Procurement plays a vital role in an organisation's success, many organisations are trying to understand how their Procurement teams fare against Procurement organisations of their competition. This creates a need to assess what activities are to be best taken to outperform competition. As budgets are typically not infinite, it becomes important to understand what improvements to Procurement's maturity bring the biggest competitive benefits and have the highest ROI. In our webinar, we will provide insights into the set-up, execution and evaluation of comprehensive assessments that could help take your Proucrement teams to the desired maturity levels.
