eWorld Purchasing and Supply - London Day 2

February 22nd, 2006 at 01:58pm Sean Delaney - Iasta UK

Day 2 complete and yet again the Hackett Group’s key note speech gets top marks from the delegates.

Unfortunately the CIPs (Chartered Institute of Purchasing) Lunchtime Keynote session “purchasing and technology for the 21st Century Business Environment” came in for the most criticism as “unimaginative”. The last comment after no questions were asked was “did I leave anything out?” Another delegate suggested that there had been of rush of technology into the purchasing function and it has clearly left CIPs feeling uncomfortable.

CIPs is playing catch up in this market place which is disappointing since they are marketing themselves as the key network for purchasing professionals. They need to start talking to the esourcing providers who are talking to the decision makers.

Well that’s it until September so if you want attend Europe’s premier eSourcing event visit Revolution Events and register for the September 2006 Show – look forward to meeting you!
