Beyond Automation: Procurement in the Fast Lane: Key Metrics for the CPO’s Dashboard Join Ardent Partners and Ivalua on September 5th (10 AM ET) for a discussion on Beyond Automation: Procurement in the Fast Lane: Key Metrics for the CPO’s Dashboard. On the racetrack, professional drivers believe that you are not driving fast enough if everything seems under control. The same holds true in corporate corridors, boardrooms, and procurement departments. Complacency, not speed, is what kills. When driving fast, it is important for CPOs and their leadership teams to have a clear destination and to understand the key drivers, pun intended, that are needed to get them there. But it all starts with understanding from where you start and a clear view into the procurement metrics that matter most.
