WEBINAR: Post COVID-19 Supply Chains: What is Needed to Adapt

After COVID-19, most companies will be cash poor, margin hungry, and riveted on boosting supply chain resilience.

They say, “forewarned is forearmed,” but what specific actions should we take? Join Rod Sherkin, President of ProPurchaser, and Kelly Barner, Owner of Buyers Meeting Point, as they team up to share their insights on the challenges our profession will face and the solutions we can implement to thrive in a post COVID-19 world.

Kelly will kick off this discussion by explaining how some of today’s “best practices” may no longer be best, e.g.: building just-in-time supply chains, supplier rationalization, and pursuing low prices.

Rod will continue the presentation with practical advice to prepare you for what’s coming – how to keep the focus on cost containment while building resilience into your supply chain. He explains how to:

· Make suppliers’ costs transparent.

· Use this knowledge to negotiate competitive pricing and attract the best, most reliable suppliers.

The goal of this webinar is to help supply chain professionals prepare for the future. You may be pleasantly surprised at how effective you can become at driving enterprise costs lower and your career prospects higher.

From Numbers to Strategy: How Finance Drives Data-Driven Supply Chains

Businesses are collecting mountainous amounts of data, but few are using that data to make transformative change. Multiple departments, systems, and processes, often working in siloes with varying tasks, responsibilities, conflicts of interest, create a patchwork of data points. This makes it difficult for finance teams to access and analyze information that gives them both the ‘big picture’ and granular detail. With restricted visibility, effective decision-making across the supply chain becomes a challenge. It’s time for finance to take a strategic standpoint, to create a more efficient, resilient, and cost-effective supply chain. Join this session while we cover topics such as : The challenges and risks with financial data Why data is your single source of truth The strategic role of finance in the supply chain How to establish a data-driven supply chain

2026 Procurement Priorities: What’s Changing (and What You Need to Do First)

Procurement teams already shoulder immense pressure to deliver margin, resilience, and stronger supplier partnerships — and 2026 is only going to heighten those expectations. Fortunately, teams already have a powerful, often under-looked resource at their disposal: rebates. In this webinar, Supply Chain Now hosts Scott Luton and Marty Parker welcome rebate and procurement experts Mark Gilham from Enable and Keith Wright from K. Wright Consultancy to help you understand how rebates, incentive programs, and joint business planning can create alignment, unlock hidden value, and make your supplier relationships far more strategic. They will reveal what most procurement teams don’t know about rebates, the full spectrum of incentive programs available, and how these programs can transform suppliers and buyers into a unified go-to-market force. Join us to learn how organizations are leveraging AI to overcome traditional rebate management barriers, empowering suppliers to offer richer incentives — and giving procurement unprecedented visibility to ensure no money is left on the table.
