Addressing Today's Professional Agenda for Procurement

15 Dec 2009

The programme for the first of the 2010 CIPSA Strategic Procurement Forums, in Adelaide on 18th February, has been released with a theme of “Addressing Today's Professional Agenda for Procurement”.

The professional agenda ‘wheel’ published by CIPSA in Procurement Professional magazine issue 23 in February 2009 highlights the five areas of greatest challenge for the profession in this region. It elaborates into the 25 topics that most challenge our profession currently. These issues are back on the table and represent real challenges facing the profession. Indeed, some have proved resilient foes and represent compelling issues that need to be addressed proactively. These are not idle lines from a job description, but real issues in most procurement managers’ in-trays.

Each of the four strategic procurement forums within the 2010 CIPSA conference series will include a key note speaker who will address one aspect of each of these FIVE challenging areas.
