Following the success of 2022’s PASA Big Breakfast in New Zealand, this year we have an exciting program lined up as we head over ‘The Ditch’ to Auckland. However, you’ll need to be quick as time is running out to secure your space.
Join us on Thursday 31st August from 7am at The Rydges hotel for a “one-day” program, squeezed into a snappy four-hour window, bringing you more procurement networking and knowledge over a tasty breakfast.
Why attend?
Aside from networking with colleagues and peers from around your region to connect, share and learn together, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Get across issues facing procurement now and in the future – and what you can do about them in practice
- Tap into new procurement thinking from specially recruited procurement thought-leaders and experts
- Hear real-world case studies from leading procurement practitioners and organisations, often facing the same challenges as you
We’ll be joined by several high-profile speakers from across the region, covering topics such as:
- Providing a voice for New Zealand procurement
- Value beyond cost: How Westpac NZ is managing down inflationary costs yet also bringing broader value for its stakeholders
- Contract compliance and governance case study: Westpac
- The Payment Times Reporting Act 2021 – Australia…will it happen in New Zealand soon?
- Value beyond cost: He Ora Te Whakapiri – there is strength in unity
Meanwhile, PASA’s CEO Jonathan Dutton will talk briefly about talent development and crafting your procurement L&D plan for the post-Covid era, plus the four unavoidable questions facing procurement throughout 2023.
The full program explores a number of key challenges facing the procurement profession, including mitigating the effects of high inflation – refocusing on value creation over cost savings, rebalancing sourcing decisions based on risk management as well as cost advantage, and reviewing the future of global sourcing from Australia and New Zealand in the face of deglobalisation worldwide.
We’ll also cover delivering on stakeholder demands for raised ESG standards from the supply side, capturing the true benefits now available from eProcurement technology and digitalisation work, and understanding local needs and differences.
It’s set to be an unmissable event in Auckland, but don’t just take our word for it, here’s what people say about our events:
“I very much enjoyed the depth and variety of skills experience of the presenters.” – Procurement Professional 2022
“It was great to hear a wide range of presentations from a diverse mix of speakers, especially in person.” – Procurement Professional 2022
