Supplier disruption, shifting trade policy and faster-moving risk now set the agenda for procurement.
Disruption now dictates sourcing decisions, cost and timelines, and risk moves in hours while the traditional stack moves in quarters. In this live 60-minute panel, practitioners and advisors discuss how to take that agenda back before 2027 budgets are set. The session includes live Q&A and closes with a 2027 planning checklist.
Key themes covered during this session include:
- The shift from recovery to prevention. Disruption is now constant. Recovering after the fact costs more each time, yet "hope it doesn't happen" is still the plan.
- Trade, tariffs, sanctions and regulation. Landed cost and supplier eligibility now change by policy, not market. What it takes to re-source when the rules move faster than contracts.
- Supplier risk as a board-level mandate. Boards ask CPOs to quantify exposure, not only report savings. The business case, shared ownership and the metrics boards will expect.
- People, process and tech as the force multiplier. Risk moves faster than any team can scale. Aligned people, process and tech multiply what each can do alone.
Join us to set the 2027 agenda before risk sets it for you, with practical guidance on re-sourcing when policy shifts, moving to continuous monitoring, and making the case for supplier risk to your board.
