Ever wonder what the procurement leaders at some of the largest, most complex and influential companies in the health and life sciences industry are thinking about?
What keeps them up at night? How do they respond to disruption? What are their top priorities and challenges today and where do they see procurement headed tomorrow?
In this special episode, Gordon Donovan sat down one-one with procurement leaders Richard Evans at NHS Supply Chain in the United Kingdom, Sirsij Peshin of Pfizer, and Alan Rankin from Moderna to get valuable insights into how each of these companies currently approach procurement and supply chain and how they are preparing for the future.
Despite drastic differences in the size and make-up of these companies, all three leaders shared similar viewpoints in putting the patient above cost savings. They also all shared the unique and innovative ways they each have overcome disruption and adversity to come out more resilient and how they’ve leaned into new technologies and processes to build resilience into the fabric of their procurement and supply chain operations.
As AI becomes more prevalent, these leaders are actively asking the tough questions to reimagine the procurement function of the future. They understand the importance of Data, the enduring relevance of the human connection, and the hidden value of the risks that can be avoided with improved visibility and process resilience. Ultimately, it comes down to trust.
