All too often procurement and risk professionals have the unenviable role of being (or feeling) accountable for risks that are outside of their control. However, with reliance on digital vendors on the rise, commercial and third party risks are only set to increase. In response, procurement must take a leadership role in enabling accountability for risk to be shouldered across the business, the entire C-suite, and by every employee. In this session, Tom Sykes, Head of Procurement and Commercial at Seek, and Stuart O'Neill, Coupa's Managing Director for APAC, discuss the evolution of risks in today's digital economy, commercial and contractual responses to digital entanglement, shared accountability across the business for third-party risk management and the role of technology in risk identification and management.
