Guest: Justin Morse – Vice President, Center of Excellence, SAP North America, Intelligent Spend & Business Network

Host: Erik Derenne – Director, Center of Excellence, SAP North America, Intelligent Spend & Business Network

Procurement is a strategic lever for many key aspects of a business: sustainability, sourcing, legal, IT and cost containment to name a few.  Furthermore, leading procurement organizations are able to drive a competitive advantage in revenue growth, regulatory compliance, operational agility and more.

So why are procurement and supply chain professionals usually not viewed as a go-to resource for the C-suite when making core business decisions?  Why are they often relegated to daily operations and cost management activities while often understaffed and under-utilized when it comes to strategic initiatives?

Our guest today, Justin Morse, will help us understand the top 3 obstacles procurement faces to earning C-suite trust and more importantly, provide a roadmap for procurement leaders to overcome these obstacles and succeed in today’s environment.

Justin is the Vice President of the North America Center of Excellence for the Intelligent Spend and Business Network solution area at SAP. With over 20 years in supply chain technology, Justin brings deep expertise in procurement best practices across various industries. Specializing in solution advisory and thought leadership, Justin engages closely with CPOs and Procurement leaders to tackle supply chain challenges and drive strategic imperatives.  One of his main focus areas this year has been discussing the role Procurement plays in executive leadership to drive strategic direction for businesses.
