We discuss topics as general as travel and personnel management, energy purchases, the art and science of negotiations, and performance reporting. How do we get what we need in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible? That question is at the core of this council’s ongoing conversations. But we also discuss the issues of the moment, including:
- Strategic sourcing enterprise-wide
- Contract compliance and management
- Vendor management for contingent labor
In candid conversations, we share both the challenges and the solutions that come with the pivotal roles we play in our organizations.

Meeting and discussing like procurement issues and challenges with senior executives in the supply chain industry are of extreme value. The council members represent diverse businesses but we are all faced with similar issues of which we all can leverage our knowledge base and learn from each others experiences.
