"As the tough times continue, seasoned executives have come to understand
that many of their company's best opportunities and top priorities in this
business cycle play to the strengths and expertise of its procurement
department," said Andrew Bartolini, Aberdeen Group's Vice President of
Global Supply Management research. "We are once again extremely fortunate
to have assembled a peerless group of CPOs and other business leaders who
will join us in Boston to share their success stories and the strategies
they employed to achieve them."
The Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) Summit has become the definitive
meeting place for global procurement executives to learn, network, and
discuss the strategies needed to extend the broad transformation of their
organizations. "The CPO Summit is a culmination of a year's worth of our
research," notes Andrew Bartolini. "It is also a perfect reflection of our
research process and the ongoing dialogue we have with leading procurement
professionals to help them achieve operational excellence."
