09:20 Panel: Earning Trust, Demonstrating Value and Strengthening Internal Relationships

As procurement becomes more mature within an organization, the relationship between IT and procurement is slowing improving. How can procurement earn trust, become an internal consultant for its technology stakeholders, and collaborate with IT to become empowered to deliver results?
• Developing a value proposition that sells procurement to IT
• Communicating successes to your technology stakeholders
• Developing partner relationships and mutual accountability with IT
• Translating this value to create a competitive edge
• Convincing IT to empower procurement to validate and negotiate with suppliers and vendors independently and objectively
• Aligning goals to be able to properly support the IT function
