COMPLIMENTARY LIVE WEBINAR INFORMATION:
Thursday, January 26, 2023 l 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET
“Work smarter, not harder!”
“Do more with less!”
Those adages have been floating around for years, but their relevance is anything but archaic. Succeeding in business today demands efficiencies and effectiveness. However, staff shortages, disruptions in logistics and the ever growing transition to remote or virtual work have tested our ability to execute seamless work processes. Procurement and contracting processes are critical to business operations, and they are not immune to these challenges; that said, many procurement professionals are pivoting towards innovative strategies that empower success.
Cooperative Contracts are an excellent solution.
Join us for an engaging webinar introducing the drivers to and framework for Cooperative Contracts. Heather Kinzie, Chief Operating Officer of The STRIVE Group, will be your host and will present foundational information about these types of agreements. She’ll then engage industry panelists in a lively discussion to ignite ideas and bust through myths. This 60 minute webinar is sure to provide viewers keen insight regarding the use of a single procurement process that enables a faster and more efficient way to procure goods and services for their organizations.
