Jon Hansen (pi Window On The World)

I would once again like to welcome from Buyers Meeting Point to share information of this week's events and news from the world of purchasing, Kelly Barner. NOTE: This week in procurement events is incredibly busy with 10 events in a four day period. In my opinion, the best webinars address procurement as a service (Spend Matters, gep), relational contracting (IACCM, Revitas), and the next installment of CPO Rising 2015 (Ardent Partners, SAP/Ariba). In this week's guest audio, I have selected an excerpt from the Procurement Unplugged conversation on PI Window last week with ISM CEO Thomas Derry. I believe it was a very good conversation in that it demonstrates just how accurately Derry sees the challenges facing procurement and the changes ISM must make to stay relevant.    Share your thought's on what you believe is The Future of Procurement on Twitter using the hashtag #FutureBuy Be sure to visit the Buyers Meeting Point website @ http://buyersmeetingpoint.com
