CIPS & CSCMP Procurement & Supply Chain event - Video Conference

03 September, 2020

In September, we were proud to sponsor the fifth joint Procurement & Supply Chain (P&SC) event, organised by CIPS (Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply) and CSCMP (Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals).

With a slightly different format to previous years, our aim was to continue the same momentum enjoyed by so many P&SC professionals annually.

"The future is shaped by our response to events, not by the events themselves."

At this year’s conference, business leaders in Zug questioned what ‘robust’ means in the world of Procurement & Supply Chain today.

Having just experienced the most unsettled peace-time period in modern history, speakers explored how our response to events – rather than the events themselves – shape the future.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, production was altered overnight, factories were repurposed within weeks, goods have been held at borders through confusion about emergency legislation, and countries have faced urgent demands for critical supplies.

Amidst this operational turbulence, we still face an enormous question: what will the world look like afterwards?

On Tuesday 22nd September 2020, 17:30-19:00 CET, CIPS and CSCMP brought together top Procurement & Supply Chain leaders:

  • Stephane Guelat – General Manager Global Supply Chain, GrafTech International
  • Oliver King – Global Lead, Distribution & Logistics, Biogen
  • Miriam Meeuwissen – Global Head Life Cycle Management, Biogen
  • David Hauxwell – Global Head of Procurement, Anheuser-Busch InBev

We’re proud to have sponsored this virtual event for Procurement & Supply Chain professionals in our Swiss network.
