• Plans for outsourcing, offshoring and resourcing value-added business processes.

Patrick Connaughton, Senior Research Director for The Hackett Group will present the research findings and will be available to respond to audience questions and to discuss the study findings with Zycus’ Corporate Development VP Richard Waugh.

“We have been noticing for some time that corporations seem to be shifting strategic focus as they struggle to adapt to big market disruptors such as the rapid and huge global expansion of mobile device and app usage, proliferating supply risks, intensifying regulatory pressures, the advent of Big Data analytics, and social media’s effects on brand strategy and management,”

“We have been noticing for some time that corporations seem to be shifting strategic focus as they struggle to adapt to big market disruptors such as the rapid and huge global expansion of mobile device and app usage, proliferating supply risks, intensifying regulatory pressures, the advent of Big Data analytics, and social media’s effects on brand strategy and management,” observes Waugh. The Hackett Group’s 2015 Key Issues Study begins to capture and quantify how these big global market shifts are translating into new directions and technology-investment strategies for procurement. This presentation is a must-see for anyone looking to elevate the procurement function and its capacities for delivering corporate and business performance value.”
