5 Trends to Explore at Sourcing Industry Group’s Global Executive Summit


Sourcing Industry Group Global Executive Summit

Sourcing Industry Group’s Global Executive Summit will take place online October 13 to 15.

The Global Executive Summit is where forward-thinking procurement leaders come to experience pioneering trends grounded in today’s new realities.

Sourcing Industry Group (SIG), the premier membership organization for sourcing, procurement, outsourcing and risk management executives, today announces the top five trends that will be explored during its Global Executive Summit taking place entirely online October 13 to 15.

“The Global Executive Summit is where forward-thinking procurement leaders come to experience pioneering trends grounded in today’s new realities,” said Dawn Tiura, President and CEO of Sourcing Industry Group. “This Summit provides a dedicated space to network with industry thought leaders, learn from different perspectives, and keep pace with emerging developments in strategic planning and procurement technology, all of which are essential to inform the way we work.”

The Global Executive Summit will ensure that every attendee comes away with data-backed insights and actionable resources. Sourcing and procurement leaders are continuously being shaped by new developments in contract management, remote work, sustainability, stakeholder buy-in and third-party risk management. The Global Executive Summit will directly address these trending topics and more:

1. Contract Lifecycle Management

Many sourcing bottlenecks are the result of poor contract management practices. Digitizing and automating the process, from initiation to award and renewal, can expedite the process and enhance compliance. Attendees will be able to choose from a variety of sessions on contract management, from executing complex negotiations to the role that advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning play in managing the lifecycle of contracts.

2. Remote and Distributed Workforces

Many office employees reported working from home at some point during the global pandemic, and it appears that some companies will continue the remote work trend. Distributed workforces create new challenges for businesses to navigate, both legally and culturally, such as worker classification, new employment regulations, diversity in the talent pool and preserving workplace culture to help employees thrive.

3. Procurement as a Catalyst for Change

Consumers and employees alike want more emphasis placed on social and environmental factors in business operations. Procurement can help deliver on an organization’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals and glean positive business outcomes in the process. Learn how Procurement can work with suppliers to spark innovation that improves communities and livelihoods, as well as impacting brand awareness, attracting top talent and driving new business models.

4. Procurement as a Strategic Partner

Business leaders lean heavily on Procurement during times of crisis, but Procurement sees its influence diminished once conditions normalize. Procurement has more to offer beyond crisis management, business continuity and cost containment. Industry executives will address the techniques and strategies they used to secure business leaders’ support to champion Procurement as a strategic partner year-round.

5. Third-Party Risk

Managing risk before it becomes an issue is a big hurdle for procurement leaders to clear. Given what procurement leaders have learned in the past six months, risk management requires thoughtful assessment on the best ways to protect the business while remaining lean and agile. Sessions on third-party risk management will share lessons learned from the global pandemic, practices that work, and how to create a risk-minded culture that aligns with business priorities.

Registration is Open

SIG member companies and qualified buy-side procurement practitioners can register to attend the digital event for free on the Global Executive Summit website. The format of the event will take place virtually over the week of October 13 to 15 for a few hours per day, so attendees can fulfill their daily work obligations while engaging in the event remotely.

The interactive digital environment of the Summit will feature keynote speakers, breakout sessions with live Q&A, and a virtual Innovation Hall with platform demonstrations that showcase how the latest advancements in procurement solutions are driving better outcomes for businesses.

In May, SIG hosted the Procurement Technology Summit with an 86% satisfaction rating among attendees. More than 1,100 people from over 400 companies across the world attended the event virtually.

SIG’s Global Executive Summits bring together senior-level executives from Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies, including C-suite executives, vice presidents, directors, senior analysts and managers. The first 300 buy-side registrants will receive a free #SIGventure Kit filled with fun swag and treats from SIG’s Summit sponsors. For more information, visit the Global Executive Summit website.

Triaj, a unique and important healthcare tech App, is available now


Triaj is available on the App Store

Triaj is available on the App Store

Triaj will provide the information that physicians, nurses, and first responders need to save lives and improve patient outcomes

Oftentimes, children with severe injury have limited, or no access to healthcare professionals with pediatric trauma expertise. Triaj will reduce the knowledge gap in pediatric trauma care that leads to unnecessary death, medical complications and increases healthcare costs. Access to immediate guidelines at the bedside is important since many children live in rural areas where trauma care is more than 60-minutes away. Furthermore, forward-deployed Department of Defense personnel treat indigenous children in remote war-torn countries frequently without immediate access to pediatric knowledge. Life-saving deviations can even occur in emergency facilities with specialized pediatric trauma care units. The Triaj App provides real-time, point-of-care treatment guidelines to enable health professionals to quickly and confidently provide the correct care. Triaj also incorporates evidence-based and comprehensive plans for MDs, RNs, Corpsmen and Medics that coordinate and enhance team collaboration.

The initial software release of the Triaj Clinical Decision Support System draws upon the best-practice methods to guide and synchronize high quality and safe care of the injured child by the healthcare team. In the future, the data from Triaj will inform machine learning as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to refine practice guidelines, improve the medical care process and reduce the cost of care.

Martin R. Eichelberger, MD, the Founder and CEO believes that, “Triaj will provide the information that physicians, nurses, and first responders need to save lives and improve patient outcomes. As healthcare knowledge continues to evolve at a rapid rate, it is more difficult to track and share best practices. We believe that Triaj can provide access to best-practice protocols for the care of children, enhance the quality of care, improve patient safety and guide optimal outcomes with the least expense.”

The Triaj platform provides guidelines throughout the continuum of care for multiple diagnoses that include head injury, abdominal injury, femur fracture, hypovolemic shock, malignant hyperthermia, and pneumothorax. As a subscription based app, the critical information for treatment of the injured child will be updated with new content on a monthly basis, and currently consists of multiple checklists, 400 resources, 45 procedures, 18 operations, and 5 videos. In the future Triaj will incorporate Artificial Intelligence to manage content for each diagnosis and incorporate machine learning to identify improvements in the practice of medicine.

###

About Triaj

Triaj is a new cloud based, Digital HealthTech app that will improve the care of patients through the application of a clinical decision support system for individual healthcare professionals and SaaS enterprise hospital systems. Triaj will reduce medical error—the #3 cause of death in the United States—improve the quality of healthcare and increase team coordination, which will result in a decrease in the cost of care. The Triaj application is a mobile platform that provides instant access to medical knowledge to support the 45 million healthcare professionals worldwide.

“Save children’s lives with just-in-time care.”
