The Power Orchestration Play: Supplier Management

Organizations have long desired an automated multi-channel CRM-like approach to managing the supply side. The technology has finally caught up to this vision, but implementing it requires thought. While the intake of employee requests does matter, the orchestration of processes across a fragmented landscape of stakeholders, processes and systems matters more. Procurement can only become an ‘orchestrator of value’ across functions, BUs, CoEs, suppliers and regulators/NGOs through a flexible enterprise-focused strategy.

In this webinar from Spend Matters, Piotr Pierzak (Head of Demand-to-Purchase-Order at Novartis) and Sudhir Bhojwani (CEO at ORO Labs) join Spend Matters analysts Pierre Mitchell and Bertrand Maltaverne for a practical discussion on the latest challenges and emerging methods for procurement to integrate supplier management processes with broader enterprise-level 3rd-party management use cases. Hear how Novartis is approaching supplier management and procurement transformation to achieve best-in-class S2P processes.

Key Takeaways:

• Building a business case for orchestrating supplier engagement: Learn about the top 5 technical supplier orchestration capabilities that drive procurement outcomes and enterprise influence.
• Using supplier onboarding to enter transformation: Demonstrate value in supplier onboarding and gain buy-in to scale processes beyond ‘intake to procure’ without merely throwing more apps at the problem.
• Radically improve and ‘mass customize’ disjointed TPRM processes: Align stakeholders and extend enterprise risk & compliance to suppliers in tailored multi-channel workflows that support business continuity, GRC, IT vendor management, contract management, supply chain risk, SRM and catman.

This webinar, made possible by ORO Labs, explores these three key pathways to aligning stakeholders by connecting people, data, and workflows in an integrated operating model via a next-generation platform architectural approach
