Sourcing Under Pressure: How procurement teams can move faster without losing control or compliance

Our next webinar, 'Sourcing Under Pressure' is for procurement teams in manufacturing and energy who are being asked to deliver outcomes faster - without weakening governance, compliance, or decision quality.

When categories are technical, supplier-heavy, and stakeholder-led, speed isn’t just about “moving quicker”. It’s about running RFx with discipline: qualifying the right suppliers, structuring technical and commercial evaluation, aligning stakeholders early, and keeping a clean audit trail - while removing the manual friction that slows everything down.

In this session, we’ll cut through the hype and share practical, field-tested ways to reduce cycle times without cutting corners. We’ll also explore where digital tools and AI can genuinely help (and where they can create noise, complexity, or false confidence if the fundamentals aren’t in place).

‍

Throughout the webinar, you’ll learn:

‍

• How to design RFx processes that move faster and hold up under scrutiny (audit, governance, compliance)
• The most common “hidden” time-drains in complex sourcing - and how to eliminate them (spreadsheets, email trails, inconsistent ways of working)
• Practical approaches to evaluating suppliers when technical requirements, quality, risk, ESG, and stakeholders all collide
• Where sourcing technology delivers the quickest time-to-value for mid-market and lower-enterprise teams (visibility, standardisation, decision support)
• Where AI can realistically support sourcing today - from RFx creation to bid comparison and scenario exploration - and what must be standardised first
• The risks to avoid when teams lean on tools (or AI) before the sourcing foundations are solid

‍

If you’re under pressure to increase throughput while protecting control and credibility, this session will give you pragmatic ideas you can apply immediately.
