EIPM’s role in changing our purchasing world, by Bernard Gracia

33 years ago, a group of international companies created the first European and worldwide centre for Purchasing and Supply Management research, education, training, and networking. This first centre was named the EIPM – The European Institute of Purchasing Management HQ , or EIPM.

Since its creation:

  • many companies have shifted from using the term “Purchasing” to “Procurement,”
  • priorities of procurement teams have evolved from savings only to a broader set of value creation opportunities.
  • companies are moving away from low-cost-country sourcing to focus on ecosystems,
  • bargaining negotiations have given way to supplier relationship management (SRM).

These changes reflect the evolving world of Procurement.
For over 30 years, EIPM has been at the forefront of these changes, leading the way through various initiatives, including:

  • the EIPM Research Centre, which has developed a purchasing/procurement school of thought, including the Value Creation Observatory and the EIPM Peter Kraljic Think Tank,
  • structured education programmes offered in 9 languages to worldwide buyers and executives,
  • focused training programmes for some of the largest companies in the world,
  • the development (of one) of the largest e-library(ies) of online learning modules,
  • the EIPM Peter Kraljic Awards, which though a rigorous process, recognise the excellence of Purchasing organisations impacting their company, society and the environment,
  • the EIPM Network of CPOs and professionals who attend different events throughout the year, where expertise, good practices, friendship, simplicity, and openness are shared.

Over the years, EIPM has proven that to lead procurement transformation, you need the right group of experts with the best technical expertise, teaching knowledge, and a great sense of humanity. EIPM is committed to maintaining and reinforcing its global leadership in the years to come.

Join the EIPM spirit and change your Procurement world.

Generating Value out of Growing Complexity:

Mastering it, Leveraging it

As companies face growing complexity and experience vital transformations, Purchasing has a major role to play in helping them find opportunities and develop new competitive advantages.

During the next EIPM Annual Conference, we will explore how we can contribute to generate value in such a context and how Purchasing can transform complexity into an advantage.

 

Altogether we will look, amongst other things, at how to:

  • Develop an End to End understanding of value chains
  • Contribute to radically simplifying internal processes
  • Become a single point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
  • Establish partnerships with new players
  • Protect and support brands

 

Purchasing can turn market complexity, internal complexity and imposed complexities such as regulations and compliance matters to its advantage. It can anticipate and accelerate when required. It can both protect the business while empowering transformations.

This will lead us to examine the following questions:

  • What does it mean to innovate and generate value in such a context?
  • Should we measure our contribution to the transformation of our companies?
  • Can we find other ways to assess, benchmark and communicate our contribution to the success of our companies?

 

All these challenges are uppermost in the minds of CPOs and Executives in Europe and beyond.
Join us to answer these questions together with leaders and experts from industry, academia and consultancy.

Deriving from the concept of the EIPM CPO Round Table, held in June each year, the CPO Breakfast is a gathering of Purchasing and Supply Chain Executives held on Friday morning as a parallel session during the EIPM Annual Conference.

This is an opportunity for Purchasing Executives to meet and exchange with peers in a private and welcoming atmosphere for the second time in the year.

22nd EIPM Annual Purchasing Conference

 

Purchasing Culture 4.0

As companies go through major transformations, Purchasing has an increasing role to play in bringing to life Innovation, Circularity and the Internet of Things.

This is calling for changes not just in terms of process and skills, but also in terms of culture. Indeed, as digitalisation calls for a redefinition of how business competes, human interaction is paradoxically ever more essential.

This year, the Annual Conference will explore what Culture 4.0 means for Purchasing teams. Together we will investigate:

  • How to lead your teams through such transformations
  • How your people take the lead in making changes happen
  • How to create an environment that support innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship
  • How purchasing becomes more agile
  • How to foster vibrant and fruitful relationships inside and outside the company
  • How we welcome new generations of employees

20th EIPM Annual Purchasing Conference

New Financial & Performance Models in Purchasing

This year the EIPM Annual Conference will explore the new performance and financial models:

  • How key business trends such as sustainability, digitalisation, value-add services and globalisation lead your company to think differently about what you buy and how you measure suppliers’ performance
  • How you implement innovative business models and new ways of working with suppliers. How this impacts contracts, financial models and performance measurement
  • How shared services centres and data management techniques help and could help procurement.
  • How TCO metrics support decision making processes within your company. How you measure the value created by purchasing and suppliers.
  • How to best report to Business Partners and Shareholders the performance and contribution of purchasing to the business objectives. Can new technology help?
  • How the measurement culture is evolving within companies and more specifically in purchasing

Workshop: Digital Transformation in Procurement

Digital Transformation

The exponential speed of digital transformation is having a great impact on industries across all domains. This gives rise to the collection of huge amounts of data that can be studied, patterned and automated, driving Decision Making.

 

What about Procurement?

When we talk about Technology and Digital Transformation in Procurement, a lot of the work is being done by machines with phenomenal accuracy.

New digital tools are allowing professionals to automatically optimize inventory, to prequalify suppliers in rapid time and to automate price-benchmarking, among other uses.

 

About the Workshop

With the aid of new technology and data-driven decision making, Procurement has improved efficiency, advanced supplier interaction and improved cross-functional collaboration with R&D, Sales, Production and other internal departments.

During this workshop, we’ll explore, among other topics:

  •   Digitalization in Procurement – bringing value to customers
  •   Reading early warning signals from Suppliers
  •   De-risking the Supply Chain beyond Tier 1 Suppliers 
  •   New Skills  for procurement professionals

The agenda will build on the collective expertise within the EIPM network and will include a combination of best practice presentations and interactive sessions to explore what is done across different industries.

 

Speakers

Virginie Vast – Vodafone Procurement Company
Bengt Isaksson – Ericsson
Michael Chatterton – Novartis Procurement
Manish Shanbhag – EIPM India Director

Workshop: Organising Innovation Days with Suppliers

About

As Purchasing teams increasingly support innovation, Innovation Days have gained popularity. At EIPM, we have gathered some lessons and best practices on how to organise such workshops.

Innovation days should be seen as one step within a broader process. They vary in formats and structures depending on what companies endeavour to achieve within specific contexts.
During the workshop we will reflect on lessons learned and good practices Companies will share their experience.

 

Workshop focus

Positioning Innovation Days in the broader Innovation sourcing process – We have designed a simple game to put together the appropriate Innovation Sourcing Process.

Different formats for Innovation Days – We have identified three different generic formats: “Come and show”, “Go and see” and “Let’s do it”. We will investigate the relevance of each of these formats.

Managing the Innovation push pull boundaries – Should the Innovation Day be based on a specific brief or should you invite Suppliers to come up with their own Innovation proposal? Should you focus on existing Suppliers or bring some new players into the game?

Preparing and following up – Preparation and follow up are essential for Innovation Days to be productive.

 

Who should attend?

  • CPOs / VPs / Purchasing Executives
  • Purchasing Team Managers with an interest and experience in the topic
  • Innovation Managers
  • Main Purchasing stakeholders with a strong interest in the relationship they have with Purchasing

 

Benefits for participants

  • Be inspired by examples / best practices from other companies
  • Build your vision to develop the Innovation Sourcing Process in your company
  • Exchange amongst peers on Innovation Days
  • Prepare your next Innovation Day
  • Develop your network and share ideas with EIPM Club affiliates
