Fifth Generation Purchasing

In 2016 EIPM started to investigate how purchasing organisations need to evolve to best respond to the current
business transformations caused by the Internet of Things, Digitalisation, Sustainability, etc.

In this context, we need adaptability. One-size-fits-all approaches are irrelevant. We need different ways of
working to address different situations and we should be able to move swiftly from one to another.

Through a series of Roundtables and Conferences we have worked with practitioners and developed a new framework that puts the speed of change happening or expected on the Demand side and the Supply side at the heart of the analysis.

The outcomes and discussions have been very interesting. This really helps to shed some light on the diversity of practices we need to master in the current economic environment. It also showed us that the mind-sets and ways of thinking are evolving.

On the 31st of Ocotber 2019, we will be in Luxembourg to present this framework and show how it can be concretely implemented. Join us !

Who should attend?

This breakfast meeting is designed for Purchasing Executives interested in the topic and/or looking for inspiration and guidance to bring their companies to the next level.
