Value Match: Strategic procurement round table - Your agenda, your priorities

This facilitated round table provides an opportunity for trust leaders with responsibility for procurement, finance and operations to discuss the issues that matter most to them. Rather than following a predetermined agenda, the discussion will be shaped by attendees, with topics gathered in advance through the conference app. Whether your focus is procurement strategy, value for money, supplier relationships, contract management, sustainability, risk, collaboration or emerging sector challenges, this session offers a space to share experiences, explore solutions and learn from peers. Ideal for CFOs, COOs, and others with strategic responsibility for procurement across their trust.
