Impulses for strategic purchasing and supply chain management

For over 25 years, I have been exploring the questions that truly advance companies in strategic procurement and supply chain management. In my presentations, I contextualize current developments, challenge established ways of thinking, and share insights from practical experience. Because not every new method delivers on its promises – and not every proven approach remains the right one under changed circumstances.

The focus is on topics such as purchasing strategy, negotiation skills, artificial intelligence in purchasing, supplier management, and risk management. A recurring theme throughout this framework is: What does the future of purchasing and supply chain look like? For me, the crucial point is not which trends are currently being discussed, but rather what concrete consequences the current situation has for companies.

My contributions combine practical experience with the methods and models of Emarticon. They are intended to provide guidance, offer food for thought, and open up new perspectives on the central challenges in strategic purchasing and supply chain management.
