Selling the Benefits of Procurement: Spend Management Consultants to Explore

the Importance of Procurement’s Brand at ISM2018

Source One Analyst Kaitlyn Krigbaum to cohost ISM Annual Conference session covering the
fundamentals of Procurement Transformation.

Willow Grove, PA, April 03, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The spend management consultants of premier
procurement services provider Source One Management Services are taking their expertise to the Institute
for Supply Management's Annual Conference. Members of the procurement consulting firm's team will
join an impressive lineup of ISM2018 guest speakers. On day two of the conference, which takes place
May 6th-9th in Nashville, Source One Analyst Kaitlyn Krigbaum will co-host “Orchestrating a
Successful Procurement Transformation: A Symphony of Recruiting, Branding, and Leading.”

The Procurement Transformation-focused session captures the principles that have guided Source One's
spend management service offering over the last two and a half decades: moving Procurement forward as
a strategic business unit. During the session, Krigbaum will explore the fundamentals of Procurement
Transformation - specifically the importance of a strong organizational brand.

Drawing upon her experience working with internal and external stakeholder groups for a variety of
procurement initiatives, Krigbaum will discuss how Procurement's image affects its success supporting
other business units. Additionally, she'll offer attendees actionable ways to improve Procurement's
internal brand. Alongside Nick Lazzara, Procurement Recruiting Practice Lead at MRA Global Sourcing
and Scott Ottenheimer, Vice President at QBE, Krigbaum will cover how supply management
professionals can maximize their talent, sell the benefits of procurement and deliver sustainable value.

“Procurement is better equipped than any other department when it comes to fostering collaboration and
implementing enterprise-wide strategies,” says Krigbaum. “Unfortunately, many Procurement teams still
struggle to convey that value proposition, as well as attract and retain top talent. Gaining access to the
right talent is the first step in turning Procurement into a true strategic partner. Scott, Nick, and I hope our
insights will enable Procurement teams to bolster their recruitment efforts and earn the confidence of
leaders throughout their organizations.”

In addition to guest speaking during the ISM2018 Annual Conference, Source One also returns to the
premier supply chain event as exclusive sponsors of ExecIn. ExecIn is a private sub-conference
experience reserved for senior-level supply management professionals. Source One will host supply chain
and procurement executives for two days of learning and networking sessions aimed at addressing the
supply management challenges of the future. ISM2018 attendees are also welcome to stop by booth #729
to learn about their Source One's Procurement Transformation Advisory services and more.
