Spend Management Thought Leaders Host Procurement Executives at ISM2019

Willow Grove, PA, January 31, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Once again, the spend optimization team at Source One will collaborate with the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) to host the ExecIn Forum. An exclusive component of ISM’s Annual Conference, ExecIn provides executive-level attendees with additional opportunities to network and exchange insights.

This year’s premier event for Supply Chain professionals, ISM2019 will take place from April 7-10 in Houston, Texas. Alongside thousands of professionals representing organizations from the mid-market to the Fortune 500, the conference welcomes former Hewlett Packard CEO, Carly Fiorina and former Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen as keynote speakers.

Source One’s Procurement innovators have designed ExecIn as a high-impact event for forward-thinking executives. In addition to private keynotes from Yellen and Fiorina, the two-day event promises to feature energetic debates and discussions around some of today’s most pressing topics.

“ISM2019 will include the fourth iteration of the ExecIn Forum,” says Source One’s VP of Operations, William Dorn. “The last three have inspired peers and competitors alike to share common pain points and collaborate to address challenges like Procurement’s talent gap. If this year’s guest list is any indication, we should enjoy another thought-provoking and collaborative event this April.”

While construction of ExecIn and ISM2019’s agendas are still underway, Source One’s team expects to discuss topics including the promise of emerging Procurement solutions, the fight to break down siloes between business units, and Procurement’s ongoing efforts to communicate its value.”

“Procurement has come a long way over the last decade,” remarks Dorn. "In spite of this strategic evolution, however, many groups still struggle to gain the necessary executive buy-in to reach their full potential. I’m interested in hearing from ExecIn’s attendees’ on the creative solutions they’ve implemented to help Procurement tell an impactful story and generate stakeholder support."

Demonstrating Procurement’s value through effective storytelling is one of the many points covered in Source One’s latest whitepaper: Procurement in 2019 and is sure to be a topic of discussion during ExecIn.
