1st Post-Covid Face-to-Face Meeting for Global CPOs
In Paris on Aug. 31st & Sep. 1st
Part of the EIPM 30th Anniversary, the 2021 EIPM CPOs Roundtable is dedicated to the theme “Re-imagining procurement”. While we’re still navigating the rapids, we need to take the longview and plan the investments that will make a difference for the future. During this roundtable we will address the following themes:
Developing a strategic vision that engages people and leverages technology to deliver value.
Delivering innovative services to stakeholders and clients.
Acting as an ROI catalyst for the business.
Developing a real-time view of suppliers and external risk to better anticipate and mitigate them.
Unfolding sustainability and carbon footprint reduction ambitions across the whole supplier network.
Digitalising the source to pay process for performance.
Day 1: 31st August 2021 afternoon
During the first afternoon of the Roundtable Emmanuel ERBA Capgemini CPO and 2020 EIPM Peter Kraljic Award Winner will welcome us and present, with Capgemini Experts, some innovation in the “Capgemini Innovation Lab” where we will be hosted. This introduction should help us to understand how out team can harness these innovations.
Dinner (a convivial moment, not just for socialising, but also for discussing and exchanging in a more relaxed atmosphere)
Day 2: 1st September 2021 – all day
During the second day, we will come back on the different topics and share experience. Participants will present their ideas and plans. New questions will be raised, and workshops will be organised to develop together a vision of what is next for procurement.
—————————————————————————————————————————
In September 2020 we asked the contenders of the EIPM Peter Kraljik award to share their vision, to describe how they saw the roles and responsibilities of the function evolve, following the events of 2020. Emmanuel Erba, Capgemini group CPO, made the following statement on this occasion.
Covid crisis has reset a few paradigms that were the foundation of procurement strategies and at the same time opened new opportunities.
As said by Winston Churchill, never waste a good crisis!
First, the paradigm based on volume growth and scale factor saving to fuel value creation and competitiveness are invalidated for at least a couple years, the time for the economy to recover and a new normal to settle in. Commercial models, including how margins are managed across the value chain, will be drastically revisited.
This means that in the meantime, winners will leverage other levers such as sectorial resilience, quality and predictability of the demand, solvency and relationship.
But this is not all. The weaknesses exhibited in some supply , as well as the chain reaction of subcontractors’ deficiencies, is bringing risk management to a new level, where assurance of supply and flexibility account as much, if not more than facial cost.
On the other side, corporations that had already performed their digital transformation, not to say digitally-native companies, like GAFAM, have emerged stronger than ever, helped by the resilience a true digital model allows.
To complicate things, the environmental dimension, even if not directly correlated to the Covid per se, has benefited from the mother of all fears the pandemic has inspired, leveraged by media, NGO and political groups. Like our CEO said, “There is no business case for ignoring sustainability and climate.”
Finally, the crisis is an opportunity to accelerate changes that otherwise would have taken decades to materialise (work from home, deliver from anywhere, flat organisations, liquid workforce..) Resistance to change were broken by the lockdown and unprecedented restrictions of individual rights. More than ever the “why not” has overcome the “yes, but”.
On this foundation, leveraging successful behaviours demonstrated during crash plans to ensure continuity of service and cost containment have become generalised and an incentive to look at things in a very different manner. Employees’ engagement is reinforcing the trend, both as a cause and as a consequence.
10 years ago EIPM launched the 1st EIPM-Peter Kraljic Awards.
The idea was to recognise the “Best in Class Practices & Organisations”.
Since then, 630+ Companies from more than 50 countries have competed in the programme and 48 have received an Award.
The 10th edition of the EIPM-Peter Kraljic Awards for Excellence will be celebrated this year on the 12th of December, in a very festive way in the vicinity of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Not only the 2019 winners will be honoured, but also all the past winning Procurement organisations that have demonstrated the “Best of the Best” practices over the 2010-2019 period.

Introduction & moderation by Dr Peter KRALJIC
Jean Francois BARIL “Beyond the Obvious”
Former CPO of NOKIA and winner of the 1st “Organization of the Year” Award (2010)
Founder & Managing Partner of GINKO Ventures
· Sourcing & Procurement transformation into Business Function
· Sourcing & Procurement contribution to companies Excellence
The Awards of the 10th Anniversary, that will recognise the “Best of the Best” practices in various categories
Winners will have extra visibility, such as an interview in the upcoming EIPM book “Fifth Generation Purchasing” to be published next spring, articles in several journals specialised in Procurement and Supply Management, and more…
The EIPM-Peter Kraljic Awards recognize the excellence of Purchasing Organisations that act as role models, delivering outstanding performance to their company and demonstrating high level of creativity, innovation and respect for the environment and society.
Over the past 10 years, Purchasing has evolved into a function that impacts the total cost of ownership, sustainability and innovation. Today, as purchasing teams are more strategic to the business, new opportunities emerge for them to enhance the total business performance.
In this context, during the Round Table we will explore how Purchasing contributes to generate new business advantages and to nurture revenue making opportunities.
Our focus will be to identify different levers that can be activated to make this happen. We will also look at the conditions for success, including the development of a vibrant community of Buyers who see their roles evolving.
Join us to benchmark your strategy and practices and strengthen your network during 2 days of intensive debates in a secure and friendly environment.
CPO: Keep up with changes and contribute to the business competitiveness!

A CPO needs to keep up to the changes and lead his team to stay competitive. Time is limited and challenges are paramount.
One of the best ways to anticipate future challenges and answer the current ones is to benchmark across countries and industries. Discussing with peers may offer you an applicable solution that has already been tested.
The EIPM CPO Round Table offers an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of new purchasing language, analyse the global changes across industries and benchmark your company’s strategy against others.

Our Partners:
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.
[icon type=”icon-guest”] [highlight background=”” color=””]SESSION ON INVITATION ONLY![/highlight]
The EIPM Master Class reunites every year prominent academics and business leaders to present and discuss the latest trends impacting Purchasing and Supply Management.
This is part of a special Executive MBA module called “Latest Development in Purchasing”, which combines the Master Class and the EIPM Annual Purchasing Conference. This module is attended jointly by students of both EIPM Campuses of Archamps and Shanghai and is also open to EIPM MBA Alumni.
Limited visiting seats are also available for Purchasing professionals seeking to boost the value and visibility of their careers by intensely exchanging with a very international group and top experts in the field.
In 2017, we will welcome to the Master Class the following expert speakers:
Angus McIntosh – Former CPO at Beiersdorf; Associate Director at Total Negotiation
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

The 2016 EIPM Conference is an exceptional one, as it will close the celebration of the EIPM 25th Anniversary with a look into the future. Throughout the Conference, we will ask ourselves: What will change for Purchasing teams in the next 25 years? We will look at the following sub themes:
[icon type=”icon-pinboard”]BUSINESS FOCUS
We will look at how the business focus of purchasing teams can be strengthened and how they can better contribute to the company transformation within a fast changing business landscape.
[icon type=”icon-gauge”]AGILITY
We will investigate how purchasing teams can become more agile, how they can quickly embrace and respond to changes in the environment. We will debate around the new types of organization, process and skills that are likely to emerge in the years to come.
[icon type=”icon-lamp”]START-UP
We will explore how we can look beyond existing strategic suppliers, find opportunities to bring value and innovate and build relationships with start-ups and other small innovative key players.
