In most companies, procurement is seen as an unglamorous, unloved part of the business. As a result, businesses often fail to realize the strategic and innovative potential of procurement.

But according to procurement and supply chain experts from the Boston Consulting Group, procurement can be a company’s secret weapon for winning in turbulent times.

Two thought leaders from BCG’s procurement activities in Europe and globally—Wolfgang Schnellbächer (LinkedIn profile) and Daniel Weise (LinkedIn profile) —will lead a discussion on a new strategic blueprint that puts procurement at the center of the business.

Wolfgang & Daniel will discuss:

• Why procurement sits at the core of a company’s success
• How procurement can help businesses generate phenomenal value
• Why procurement can help businesses generate value from other sources of competitive advantage that are critical to success—innovation, quality, sustainability, speed, and risk reduction

Drawing on BCG research and the authors’ firsthand experience working with some of the world’s leading companies—in high tech, automotive, consumer goods, and other industries— Wolfgang & Daniel will share vivid stories, in-depth case studies, and proven strategies to drive growth and competitive advantage from procurement.

Decisions are difficult at the best of times. We like to believe that decision makers are rational and that decisions are arrived at by detailed analysis and careful consideration of all of the options. The reality is that many decisions—especially in the world of business—are made for reasons that are altogether irrational.

Making good decisions is hard. Making rational decisions is virtually impossible. We have biases, cognitive limitations, insufficient time, incomplete knowledge and an imperfect understanding of what is going on. The consequence is that we try to make the best decisions that we can under the circumstances.

That’s not to say that decision making can’t be helped. Decisions can be nudged. They can also be outright manipulated. The line between those truths can at times be a very fine line.

In this presentation Mark Mullaly (LinkedIn profile) author of Researching the Value of Project Management dives deep into the process of decision making.

Mark explores the biases and limitations that every one of us works with, and how they influence and at times compromise our ability to decide well.

He provides insights into how biases can be manipulated, and what both decision makers and those making decision recommendations need to do to be aware of—and manage the impact—of potential manipulations.

If you want to learn how to make and support better project decisions, this is a presentation that you won’t want to miss.

Storytelling enables nuclear, transport and other large infrastructure projects to communicate their challenges, progress, and experience. What does this look like in practice?

Everyone loves a great story and in our profession, we are fortunate to have so many to tell.

The challenge is often pitching that story to the audience. It’s not always a keen local society or a group of school students; sometimes it’s a hard-pressed developer or a client with competing demands. I want to share some of the ways that HS2 and its amazing supply chain has sought to communicate the nature, excitement, and challenges of our works.

Helen Wass will highlight examples of current best practice, ways to reach a wide audience and how to help celebrate the benefit that archaeological practice brings in so many ways.
