09:30 Panel Discussion: Elevating Your IT Procurement To The Next Level - What Is The Business Transformation Required To Get From Good To Great?

What can you do to advance your maturity level to be in line with your competitors? How are you driving yourself and your team to become a truly world-class organization?
80 per cent of IT costs are typically trapped in ‘keeping the lights on’ and maintaining infrastructure rather than driving innovation and delivering transformative benefits – how can you challenge the business to deliver proposals for transformative investment that deliver greater returns?
What procurement processes do you need in place to ensure you and your team can focus on the important tasks of negotiating savings, developing category strategies, increasing skillsets, driving innovation and bringing more spend under management?
What does best in class look like and how can you lead with an IT mindset and link strategies to corporate ambitions?
