INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION: Public vs. private – exploring the similarities between sectors and what we can learn from each other
This interactive session is designed to challenge the concept of differences between procurement practices in the public and the private sectors.
The discussion gathers procurement executives with backgrounds in private and public sector to explore the similarities in both.
Join us for an investigation of why there is a perception of difference; why public and private sector procurement shouldn’t be different; and what one can learn from the other.
