What an incredible privilege to host Ovation 2024 at Château St. Gerlach in the splendid and historic city of Maastricht. The estate made a perfect backdrop for our conversations: a place where ideas, entrepreneurship, sustainability, nature and forward momentum collided. A few insights from our time together: 🍩 Will our globalised world continue to expand, or will it fracture into regional ‘oligons’? How will working conditions and societies change when city centres are hollowed into donuts? Is climate change the greatest business opportunity since the industrial revolution? - Kjell A Nordström 🚀 Nuclear energy is bound inside the heart of atoms. It has the potential to power our civilisation. Can emerging technologies cast nuclear waste in a new light, transforming it from our deadliest foe to one of our greatest assets, with the ability to power new reactors, cure cancers, and take us into deep space? - Tim Gregory ♻ Should boards evaluate sustainability issues rationally, focusing on outcomes over labels, questioning assumptions, and recognising diminishing returns and trade-offs? 'Rational sustainability' - an evidence-based approach to sustainability that focuses on long-term value creation rather than politics or ideology. - Alex Edmans 🌍 How can we enhance the governance of organisations, the challenges of global development, and work together in a world where polarisation is taking place around us? Societies are fracturing and not sharing and we need to create public spaces (online and offline) where people come together and discover they are all human beings. - Ngaire Woods 💚 Thanks to Gianluca Colombo, it was a real honour to tour the newly inaugurated Dutch dual headquarters of dsm-firmenich, innovators in nutrition, health and beauty. Sustainably designed, energy-neutral and a home to about 600 associates; it’s a space that is a hub of creativity and inspiration, delighting consumers, while addressing some the world's greatest challenges. ⚽ 🦅 Thanks to everyone who attended from near and far. This was by far our most global representation and I learned that football, falconry, future scenarios, food and friendship are universally appreciated. My personal gratitude to all including our members, guests and partner organisations, plus my colleagues, for making Ovation 2024 so memorable!

☀ The West Coast Forum took place a few weeks ago in Burbank, California (LA) bringing together a fantastic group of members and prospects to discuss the global intricacies of centralising the procurement function amid a large-scale merger at Warner Bros. Discovery. ☀ The event kicked off at Grand Master Recorders with an evening of networking, overlooking the iconic Hollywood sign. Key sessions included: - Carol Danoff, CPO: "Winning in Mergers & Organisational Design." Carol shared how centralising the function through the merger set them up to deliver 10x value to the business, aligning with our latest Process & Performance research. - James Ford, Head of LATAM Airlines for WBD: Discussed the 'North Star' concept and how setting a long-term vision helped prioritise and accelerate progress, resonating with our 2030 Glidepaths. - Kevin Will, Head of EMEA & APAC: Shared insights on working with international teams and the importance of understanding cultural differences. Thank you to all attendees! Shoutout to our headline partner SpendHQ hashtag #PLWCF
As I depart LAX back to London, I’m looking back at the photos of the last few days of Procurement Leaders | A World 50 Group Community West Coast Forum in association with SpendHQ and it really hits home on what has been a fantastic trip. With 40 of the regions biggest and brightest procurement leaders gathered together at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Studios we had the opportunity to hear about the global intricacies of centralizing the Procurement function amid a large-scale merger at their organisation. With the entire leadership team really leaning in and sharing all of the component parts that have made it a success, and the day completed with a tour of the studios and back lot itself, it was as insightful as it was an energising day for all involved. A huge thank you to all of the WBD team but Carol Danoff and Kevin Kratky in particular for their leadership and organisation in hosting the community onsite and putting together a great programme to match and again to Pierre Laprée and the team at SpendHQ for their continued partnership. And as ever to the awesome onsite Procurement Leaders team for delivering yet another world class experience to our members and partners. So as I leave LA, on this occasion there’s only one appropriate last thing to say…..”That’s all folks!”.
