Procurement Modernization

Online: Friday, September 17th, 2021 | Time: 12:00-2:15pm ET / 9:00-11:15am PT

Delivering a Simpler, More Accessible and Cost-efficient Public Procurement System

Last year, we were able to experience how resilient and transformative public procurement can be. A crisis-driven response to the pandemic showed us what we needed to get right in 2021 and build on those priorities as we move forward towards our modernization goals.  

Leading organizations have also recognized how critical it is to modernize your core foundational pillars of talent, process, technology, and culture in order to achieve an efficient, agile and diversified procurement function. We have our modernization goals solidified, but how do we ensure that we turn the temporary measures we put in place into systemic reforms and continue the transformation momentum? 

Public Sector Network’s Procurement Modernization Virtual Event will provide you and your team with an opportunity to evaluate your current processes, learn about the latest trends and innovations from leaders in the space and gain practical tips that you can implement to fast-track meeting your modernization goals.
