13:55 Category Management: In The Now And Future

Category management doesn’t have a universal definition, because its function differs based on the size of a company. This session will revisit category management to ensure the approach is still relevant to today’s procurement function, and will remain relevant tomorrow, including:

•Co-leading category management with stakeholders

•Conducting audits on mature categories to limit bad habit creep

•Developing subject matter experts: What level of experience should category managers have?

•Looking to the future from a client's POV & reducing spend through consolidation
