10:25 Presentation: What Does the CPO of Tomorrow Look Like?

Procurement transformations have resulted in a big turnover of CPOs in recent years. Getting potential CPOs trained to take the reins is crucial to continued success and procurement’s visibility and viability. But what qualities should the CPO of tomorrow possess? And then, what should a new CPO do on the job? This presentation will discuss:
• What are the top 10 traits to develop to become a CPO?
• Identifying and prioritizing future leaders for development
• The playbook for a new CPO: a 100-day game plan
• Determining what you need based on what you’ve had- do you want a change in direction or a continuation of your processes?
• Hiring smarter- what interview questions will allow future CPOs to break through the clutter?
