Overview
Our latest webinar which focuses on Procurement will be brought to you jointly by our UAE, London and Nigeria regions as well as our Procurement SIG.
This is a crucial dimension of any commercial activity. For this one-hour event, we will discuss how procurement activities differ across the FM sector: from Good Practice Guides, to ISOs, to current performances in Abu Dhabi, Lagos and London.
In an industry that is becoming increasingly performance-centric, how have our outsourcing and contracting processes matured? Does Vendor Management only work for large organisations? How does one demonstrate added value in a cost-driven market? How have SME specialists handled and survived their cashflow issues during COVID pandemic?
We’ll hear how a variety of organisations approach Procurement, what it means to them and to discuss what makes for good Supply Chain Management.
Our host Sara Momtaz is joined by a selection of four specialists, drawn from three different cities, countries and time zones, united by their membership of an international institute and a common interest in professional development by sharing knowledge and experiences.
This will be an interactive, dynamic session, with polls on key topics, plus a Q&A session, providing an opportunity for the audience to put their questions directly to the panel.
