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.

These days, almost every procurement organisation is struggling to keep up with the rising complexity and dynamics of global supply chains that stem from a rise in both innovation and disruption. While software tools are already widely used in transactional work to keep up, decision makers are still widely underutilising digital solutions when it comes to setting and implementing commodity strategies. In our webinar, we will explain why the traditional way of commodity strategy setting is an ill fit for modern Procurement and how digital tools can empower decision makers to bring strategy setting into the 21^st century.

Case studies and key takeaways from business practice (joint webinar with Siemens) In this webinar, Jonas Hohlweck from Siemens Advanta Consulting and Christian Paul, principal at TWS, are sharing their learnings from helping procurement organisations to digitally transform. Way too often digital products are not developed based on where an organisation wants to be in the future. Rather, one ends up in copy-pasting a decently working Excel into a fancy looking and quicker, yet poorer working version of it. Jonas and Christian share their ideas how to avoid ending up in a situation like this and show examples where the better was as important as the quicker. They also identify what softer factors are required to land such a digital product into an organisation.
