CPOs are increasingly being called upon to enable the CFO's agenda. How can they help accelerate cost reductions, unlock cash to invest in growth initiatives, deliver on promised synergy benefits from M&A activity, and provide insights on product designs to protect and defend margins? We'll discuss:

• A new wave of digital procurement technologies that leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and automation.
