« High Performance Purchasing :
The People Dimension »
 

Transforming purchasing and supply through the selection and development of talent to achieve breakthrough performance. 
 

Not to be missed !

6^th – 7^th December
In Archamps (French Geneva Border), FRANCE
 

PRESENTATIONS, VIEWPOINTS, CASE STUDIES AND DEBATES FROM THREE COMPLEMENTARY PERSPECTIVES: practitioners, academics and consultants.
 

The forces of globalisation and increasingly aggressive competition call for a radically new approach to achieving sustainable business performance. Top companies will need to understand the shift from a company centric attitude to the value opportunities within the supply network and the growing importance of relationship management. The conference this year will address the drivers of change and explore the impact on the purchasing and supply organisation. What competences will be called upon to deliver the desired performance and how should our talent be developed? How do we respond to the growing need to develop the “soft” skill sets to complement the recognised purchasing best practices?

The EIPM 12^th Annual Purchasing Conference will be based on the proven approach of blending academic, consultant and practitioner presentation to challenge the traditional practices and open the mind to the opportunities.The range of topics to be covered will include:
 

- Relationship management – beyond the negotiation table
- Understanding the importance of cultural differences
- Evaluating the competencies of the next generation of Purchasing and Supply professionals
- Aligning competences with the strategic product portfolio
- Responding to the challenges of effective continuous professional development
