Patrick will be joined by Richard Waugh, VP-Corporate Development at Zycus, who has developed a “Top 10” of Procurement Metrics that should be on every CPO Dashboard.
This interactive webinar will also feature practical demonstrations and discussions about:
- What to measure – real time audience polls on metrics that matter most
