SOLD OUT
The PASA Connect Brisbane Big Brekkie – 9th August 2022, 7.00am to 11.30am, Hotel Grand Chancellor, Brisbane
The pandemic has in many ways fragmented our community – the procurement community too.
This PASA business breakfast event will hopefully play a small part in helping to bring back together the procurement community in Brisbane.
PASA Connect
At PASA, we were fortunate in March 2020 to be able to completely pivot to ONLINE for the many procurement round-tables we were already running online and LIVE throughout the country.
Both last year and this, PASA Connect offered over 80 expert led peer-to-peer round-tables on every topic relevant to busy procurement teams during a crisis – including weekly CPO round-tables during the start of the crisis.
PASA Connect brought us together, shared experiences on urgent questions and quickly captured key learning points from which we could all benefit immediately. This enables us to collate content second to none in its immediacy, its relevance and its pragmatism.
The online PASA Connect network is now available to procurement practitioners located in SA. The topics covered are entirely ‘national’ in nature and a feature of PASA Connect is the member-driven programme. For more details contact dee@pasa.net.au at anytime or visit www.pasaconnect.com

| 8.15am | Rebalancing COST -v- RISK on inbound supply chains Many faced supply shortages at the outset of the pandemic – more so in Australia perhaps, at the tip of the global supply chain? And some buyers in Australia confessed to one-eyed purchasing decisions of the past unravelling quickly and threatening vital supply. Today, many are re-evaluating offshore sourcing to re-balance risks -v- cost gains – especially from inbound supply chains. and even reviewing their business continuity plans for the future …. But how to go about this, prioritise well and make these fine judgements ? |
Kobus van der Wath, CEO, Axis Group International |
|
| 8.45am | Procurement digital evolution – not TRANSFORMATION Many procurement teams have been through a digital transformation process, some for the second or even third time. But what are the issues that we seem to keep revisiting? Are we getting it right on digitalisation, or automating the same mistakes? Perhaps digital groiwth not a continual journey rather than a one-time destination |
