The introduction of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG or Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) in Germany marks a significant shift in supply chain regulations, emphasizing the importance of social and environmental responsibility. The LkSG presents companies with the challenge of ensuring comprehensive due diligence along their supply chains. During the webinar, you will deepen your understanding of the LkSG, gain valuable insights and practical knowledge on:

• Innovative and incentive-driven solutions for comprehensive due diligence along supply chains.
• Motivating suppliers to comply with legal requirements through targeted monetary and non-monetary incentives.
• Optimizing risk management, risk analysis, preventive measures, and complaint procedures.
• Ethical and responsible management of supply chains while maintaining economic efficiency.
• Preparing your company to meet the current and future demands of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act.
• Concrete examples of successful implementation strategies.

Please note that the session was held in German.

In technologically dynamic environments, companies must continuously evolve and seek innovative solutions to remain competitive. However, when technological uncertainty is high, sourcing innovative products and technologies represents a huge challenge. As conventional procurement strategies oftentimes operate in too narrow frameworks, more flexible strategies are needed to maximise innovation and minimise technological risks. Join this webinar to learn:

• how game theory can help you to find the right collaborative partners with enlightening ideas and new technologies to jointly develop the next big thing
• about practical solutions on how to define and implement a flexible procurement strategy that best enables innovative and novel solutions
• how Procurement can become a driver of innovation

Staffing is a traditional HR topic, but today more relevant than ever. Digitalisation, flexible work models, employees seeking more participation and, last but not least, COVID19 present HR departments with a host of new challenges and call for new approaches. Such an approach is matching theory, an economic theory which was awarded with the 2012 Nobel Prize. Insights from matching theory are applied in various fields today, but are little known in HR. If you are looking for a kindergarten for your child, need an organ transplant, or are applying for a job at Google, the underlying assignment process could be based on matching theory, without you knowing it. Matching theory is used here in order to create better and fairer matchings in less time for the benefit of all participants. This raised a natural question: Why shouldn't we apply this proven methodology to labour markets in order to achieve better results? In our webinar, we will - look into some examples of successful applications of matching theory - explain the basic concepts - and discuss where and how this can be used in HR to make better staffing decisions. In addition we will present a lighthouse case in which we used matching theory at a DAX-company to jointly design an internal job market.

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
