Profit for Growth
Leveraging Procurement Excellence
As economic recovery gains pace in 2014, the leading industrial companies are heading for
profitable growth. The challenge is twofold: creating innovative products and services for
more customer value and driving down costs as well as boosting efficiency to improve
­margins and EBIT.
In this challenging context, the CPO plays a real key role. Developing and implementing
­compelling strategies and structures that enable our companies to leverage the full potential
of procurement is a must. Procurement excellence constitutes the basis for profitable growth
and for more resilience in dynamic markets.
Consequently, there are two key topics on top of the agenda of senior procurement and
supply managers:
w
Designing an Agile and Responsive Procurement Organization
w
Shaping Smart Strategies for Managing Direct and Indirect Spend
EPE 2014 is a unique platform for European senior procurement professionals to explore
the current opportunities and risks of the supply markets and to benchmark strategies,
­organizational structures, systems and processes. Join your fellow CPOs as they discuss
how to transform procurement into a powerhouse, thus making it a value adding partner
of the business units.

KEYNOTES
Dr. Thomas Birtel
CEO, Strabag SE, Austria
”Early cooperation between clients, building contractors and service providers/suppliers can
­increase customer value in the project business, with purchasing playing a key role in the process.
I therefore look forward to discussing game-changing purchasing strategies in the project business
at EPE 2014 with the participants and speakers from different industries.“
Chee Kin Lin
Vice President, Head of Global Organization, Standards & Tools, Deutsche Post DHL, Germany
“Deciding how to manage and organize tactical procurement is becoming more and more ­crucial
for large procurement organizations. Deutsche Post DHL decided to outsource one region to
­benchmark with internal tactical purchasing shared service centers. I consider EPE 2014 a perfect
platform to discuss with delegates and speakers how we managed our change process, which were
the lessons learned and what are the further opportunities for continuous improvements.“
Fredrick Spalcke
Executive Vice President, Philips International B.V., Chief Procurement Officer, Royal Philips
”Within Philips we are fully aware of the strategic impact of procurement on optimizing the value
chain. We decided to implement the ambitious procurement excellence strategy which is leading
to value enhancements covering products and services, but also the optimization of the Total Cost
of Ownership. At EPE 2014, I look forward to discussing strategies with delegates and speakers.
The EPE summit offers a great opportunity to review how procurement can be a key enabler in a
transformation journey.”
Dr. Ulrich Piepel
Managing Director, RWE Service GmbH, Chief Procurement Officer, RWE Group, Germany
“We are facing challenging times in the energy industry during the next years. The value ­contribution
of procurement is becoming more and more important. This is the reason why we have founded
the One Procurement Organization’. To be best in class and shape a world class procurement
­organization, a network like EPE is very helpful to understand and improve your own organization.”
