Henry Gutierrez, our Regional Director of Influencers Costa Rica gave a rousing, vulnerable closing talk to our 2024 Men's International Summit. He talked about his many years serving as a pastor of a church who was not abiding and was not serving his family. He talked about the major shift in his heart and his ministry once everything came out of abiding in Christ. It was very inspiring and a perfect ending to a great Summit, especially considering we were hosting 30 international participants. You will enjoy this!

You belong here. This place has a unique situation. Think of it like a baby and a toddler growing up, and excitement of people coming together and all sectors, right? There is the private industry. There's the philanthropic organizations. There is an entrepreneurial spirit. What did I hear, thirty-six people a day coming into this place. Only in [Bentonville and NWA] can you think about a future where people say, ‘Are you crazy that you're going to be able to deploy solutions?' It's like, no, we are not because we are together. We have the ability in this place, unlike many other places, to not only think of solutions, not only produce solutions, not only deliver them, but actually deploy them and be able to move them at scale. So converge and together find the solutions and then distribute an impact at scale and really globally ultimately.” - Ranu Jung, (8:52)“[The Northwest Arkansas Technology Summit] has been incredible. The biggest thing about all of this is just seeing the growth in the community, the industry, and the tech leaders' companies that are not from this area coming here to be part of this.” - Justin Urso, (17:00)“I think only in Bentonville can you go to a building and ride into that building on your bike, ride around that building and experience what it's like for a cyclist to be able to commute to work and commute to a building that's actually built for them. And that's the beauty…I have a space at the Ledger. I can ride my bike to work and park it almost basically at my office, and it is perfectly suited and set up for the environment that we're trying to create in Northwest Arkansas of more people on bikes using alternative transportation and providing them with the necessary resources so that they can really take advantage of that.” - Randy Wilburn, (26:19)“I would tell them that what they're experiencing in Northwest Arkansas is the future of what the United States is going to be like. Because I do believe we're setting a new standard for what things can be like from a diversity perspective, from an employment perspective, from a jobs creation perspective and from an education perspective.” - Randy Wilburn, (30:16)“The Greater Bentonville Area specifically is Bentonville, Centerton, Pea Ridge and Bella Vista, and that is our framework of who we encompass as the Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce. But the chamber membership itself, our member base, it's international, it's global. We got people from all across the world who are members with us, and it just makes for a very fantastic experience as a chamber member.” - Jack Short, (34:00)“[In Bentonville] there's so many opportunities for my kids to explore their creativity and explore the environment and stuff. I mean the Amazeum is one of the places that we love to go to, but now my kids are getting older and they want to go see the artwork and go to Crystal Bridges…I didn't get those experiences growing up because I grew up in a very, very small town, but I'm able to share those experiences, and get to experience it myself but also see my kids experience them, and I hope that it's given them some inspiration to be whoever they want to be.” - Katie Thompson, (50:29)

And Bentonville has been such a fantastic place and everyone's so welcoming that we really do want to try and push something to come out here. So watch this space, but hopefully we'll be here for a race series in the future.” - Paul Jones, (8:26)“I've seen some very eager sixteen year olds from Bentonville High School, as well as students from Texas and California, come to get a hands on [experience] where the new technology is going to be developed in America. And a lot of people believe that Bentonville in Northwest Arkansas can definitely be that spot.” - Daizhan Ennals, (20:48)“Only in Bentonville, with Walmart giving an opportunity to [a nontraditional candidate] that might have otherwise never gotten that chance, do we get to be a part of that process. To chalk it up, I think we're seeing that all over the state but clearly in Bentonville because of the relationship of organizations with Walmart that is so willing to be that community partner.” - Lonnie Emard, (34:03)“I think the most obvious visual is when you spend any time in the Bentonville Square because, as I was telling somebody last week, I had lunch at Table Mesa and I was telling them that it used to be an office supply store for many years. And normally, on any given weekday if you were on the square, there was nobody else there. But this particular day when we were coming out of Table Mesa, the square was full, we could not get a parking spot, just all sorts of neat activity going on. And I think that's indicative of the area in total in that the square has become a hub of activity.” - Scott Benedict, (38:11)“Especially with the Walton Family Foundation and what you guys are doing there to build amenities in the area, it makes it even more attractive. I mean, yesterday we heard about an interesting stats update from Robert Burns with the Walton Family Foundation. He talked about move speed a couple of years ago. It's thirty people per day moving in right now. So it's like a twenty percent growth in how many are moving in per day.” - Micy Liu, (54:12)

And I was so thrilled and pleasantly surprised by how kind and warm everyone was. And of course, with the immense talent across retail and supply chain from Walmart, Tyson, J.B. Hunt and the 1,300 suppliers and vendors that support them, it became home." - Charu Thomas, (3:32)“Next year, Bentonville and Fayetteville are going to host The Association of University Research Parks International Convention…This is an opportunity for The University of Arkansas and Northwest Arkansas to show out and discuss best practices when you're talking about creating a place where innovation happens. There's a special thing happening in Northwest Arkansas and the world is starting to understand what's happening here.” - Toby Teether, (12:11)“It's a [Bentonville] community hub, right? It's not just an office building. It's not just a meeting location. Not just an event space. It's a space where people can truly come and gather and be part of something bigger than themselves. And that goes back to what Ledger is solving. It's this whole ecosystem around bringing the community in, but also pushing people out into the community as well. So it creates this nice little ecosystem of these casual collisions and these companies being created.” - Payton Lenz, (23:45)“I really like the feel of Bentonville, the attitude of the people and the flavor. And I'm sure this year's [Northwest Arkansas Tech Summit] is going to be expanded because it's much, much bigger this year than what we saw last year.” - Davis Sanders, (33:49)“[The Northwest Arkansas Technology Summit] has been great…We get the benefit of having a lot of big companies here. We get the Walmarts, the J.B. Hunts, The Tysons. So the stuff you get to hear is really cool.” - Clayton Woodruff, (40:20)“...we settled on Bentonville as a place to move because we looked at all of the incredible work everybody has already put into it. The University of Arkansas, private and public corporations, and a ton of nonprofits that are really into entrepreneurship. We saw an opportunity that not only could we really grow and build here in Northwest Arkansas, but there's a lot of cultural alignment with our values of being services oriented and being willing to help a neighbor, help a friend, and that inclusivity exists here.” - Rachel Hobert, (44:44)

CazesEmory SolutionsQuotes“I think what describes for me the essence of Bentonville is the entire experience of these last ten years put together. It has been heartwarming because for somebody like me, a woman of color who comes from thousands of miles apart, who has no family, no friends, no support system here to come and feel accepted, the local people and everybody around here have accepted me with open arms. And that speaks volumes of this place. It tells me you don't have to be a certain color or race to be accepted because there are good people everywhere, and it wouldn't have happened anywhere except [Bentonville].” - Sapna Ramachandran, (7:12)“This is day one [of the NWA Tech Summit] and I'm already blown away. The amount of community that's here, the amount of connection, the amount of vendors, and the way we can plug into our community and really see full force in conference form what all we actually have living in this Northwest Arkansas [and Bentonville] area.” - Tiffany Benitez, (19:13)“[The NWA Tech Summit] has been amazing. Anytime you can talk to the number one retail company and some of the people surrounding it, the people that have gone before you that know how to get in there and some of the really cool things they've done, is incredible.” - Brent Blecha, (24:22)“Whenever I had made the decision to leave corporate and work for myself, I went to Bentonville and I started looking for businesses in Bentonville to collaborate with and say, ‘Hey, I'm offering this service, do you need it?' And some said yes and it has been a phenomenal journey.” - Kayla Norris, (35:29)“We came up to Bentonville to check it out and we went to the Downtown Bentonville square. And one thing I think that's really cool about Bentonville is as built up as it is, that town square has the same kind of atmosphere that the small towns have…It's a really walkable area and I think that's what I like about Bentonville is that you've managed to grow but still keep your city very walkable and approachable to everybody.” - Paul Rowe, (43:01)“It's been inspiring for me as a transplant. I've had this stigma in my head for what the center of America looks like, and I honestly was amazed and I am amazed by all the support that not just the community members provide, but that the companies provide. There's this level of competition, but there's also a level of respect with it. They help each other along. If they're flourishing they'll bring the other with them. So to me, that's really exciting.” - Jasmine Rara, (51:39)“I really think [the NWA Tech Summit] is a great opportunity to show off Arkansas. We're not known for a tech hub, but we're changing that in NWA, which is exciting. And we see the event growing year over year and the different diversity that's coming in. It's fantastic to be making a name for ourselves.” - G.B. Cazes, (1:01:06)“Just in the short amount of time that I've been known to Bentonville, it's changed so much and it's changing so rapidly. And I think it's because everybody is pulling in the same direction. So it's a unique community doing a lot of unique things, but everybody's doing it together.” - G.B. Cazes, (1:02:00)

In the second part of our series of live interviews recorded at Procurement Summit in Hamburg, Germany, we dive this time into the practitioner side of digital transformation. Discover how digital transformation and procurement tech is shaping modern procurement leadership, through the captivating stories of three great professionals who joined me in my VW camper van on the exhibition floor. Tanja Ridder, Head of Commodity Group Procurement at ThyssenKrupp Bilstein Tanja shares her story about how she grew her career starting out as a purchasing clerk and working her way up through internal promotions. She's proof that it's possible to grow without going down the traditional university degree straight after school route. We discuss how that mix of operational and strategic experience has helped shape her career. Tanja has only been in her current role a few months, so we also explore some of the considerations for how to approach shaping a digital procurement strategy when starting a new role. Nina Bomberg, Director of Global Indirect Procurement at dormakaba Nina and I have known each other for a while and she changed jobs in September last year. Our conversation looks at her journey of starting in a greenfield role in a relatively immature procurement organisation, especially from a digitisation standpoint. Mario Bruggmann - Social Procurement Mario is based in Switzerland and is a freelance interim manager, typically taking on senior procurement & supply chain roles for a few months at a time to bridge hiring gaps or to manage special project requirements. Mario's other passion though is what he calls Social Procurement - leveraging the power of social media to both build a personal brand and also to raise awareness of the procurement profession. Through their stories, we witness the fusion of operational prowess and strategic vision, illuminating the multifaceted landscape of success in this dynamic field. As the procurement landscape continues to evolve, their experiences provide invaluable insights into shaping digital strategies and propelling the profession forward.

In the world of cross-border supply chains and procurement processes, innovation is revolutionizing the way businesses operate. In this exclusive interview series recorded live at the Procurement Summit, we dive into the minds of some visionary procuretech startup founders who are at the forefront of driving change in the industry. First up is Romain Fayolle, Founder and CEO of Holocene Holocene is a startup that optimises and automates logistics processes for cross-border supply chain. As I touch on in the interview, this has traditionally been a very manual process. Automation AND visibility in this space is much-needed, and it's great to come across innovation for this topic. Next up is Christoph Moll of beNeering. We often get frustrated as procurement professionals about incumbent ERP systems, and how inflexible or complicated they are to use because of their front end interface and vast array of features. The reality is though, companies aren't going to abandon them overnight. This conversation looks at making life easy with an intuitive front-end that seamlessly works in tandem with a SAP environment. I then spoke to one of the industry stalwarts and one of the major sponsors of Procurement Summit, Jan-Hendrik Sohn, country manager DACH for Ivalua. Even though I'm a huge fan of best-of-breed tech, this was actually a conversation I really enjoyed. It was really cool to get an understanding of how one of the established suites is positioning itself in such a rapidly changing market, and where they see their advantage and USP over some of their fierce competitors. Keeping on the topic of Source-to-Pay, next up is Eberhard Aust, CEO of ebidtopay. They're a niche provider of S2P solutions for mid-market manufacturing businesses and their software does a LOT for its price point. They've been around a while but are really focusing on offering a suite-like set of features at a price point that doesn't require an enterprise software budget. Full disclosure, ebidtopay is one of our software partners at ProcurementSoftware.site, and you can reach out to me if you'd like to learn more about them. Christoph Kunel, COO of e-procurement platform Crowdfox is next up. Catalogue procurement is not new technology. However, using generative AI - the same technology that powers ChatGPT - to assist and enhance the requisitioner's front end experience, is a simple but huge value add enhancement. He explains how "ProcureGPT" works in their platform.

I see a lot of quality development, and it's cool to see quality of growth and not just quantity.” - Craig Immel, (13:37)“I think it's a testament to how much the community's grown and the effort of the Chamber and other stakeholders in Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville specifically, to develop what is here, add onto it and do the things that are enticing the talent and culture to put down roots.” - Caleb Talley, (35:17)“I have a six and an eight year old, and we love coming up to Bentonville…I grew up in a small town in Texas and didn't have the opportunities to see artwork, so to be able to take them to places like Crystal Bridges at no cost to me is always amazing.” - Katie Thompson, (42:36)“It's my first time coming to Northwest Arkansas, and it's really beautiful…I went to Crystal Bridges, and there's certain art pieces that really spoke to me…It's hard to imagine what America looked like before all this development, and how beautiful this country is from a natural perspective, and you get to imagine it through some of the artwork that's there, and I think that's special.” - Kirt Gill, (53:43)“We were able to see the Walmart campus being built and that total bikeable building, everything is so modern…Bentonville is beautiful, and I've been very impressed with the urban planning and the restaurants…The infrastructure is incredible, and I saw the bike pass too, so that's been awesome.

It's really all become one community with different sub-sectors and cultures within that. Rogers, Bella Vista, Bentonville and Fayetteville are all very different from each other but are very much one big economic powerhouse.” - Aaron Ivy, (11:52)“What I've been seeing is that a lot of executives and enterprises we have relationships with have moved to [Bentonville] over two to five years ago. It's been amazing. So the conversation I have with them is that you come here and you never expect that what you see here is far beyond what you expected before coming here.” - Amir Hoss, (19:45)“What I've really enjoyed at this tech summit is the presence and support that emerging technology companies are receiving from Fortune 500 companies and the recognition from huge corporate partners.

We're back with the final part of our 3-part series of live episodes recorded at Procurement Summit in Berlin on 29 and 30 September 2021. Each podcast features a different theme, focusing on some of the newer, less well-known startups who pitched and exhibited during the summit. This final episode looks at 3 solutions out there who have doubled down on tackling the lucrative and under-served niche of digitsing services procurement. Prospeum Philip Rathjen joins me from Prospeum, a pretty new solution out there that has recently been launched. Philip explains that the idea came to him and his co-founders when they were working together in IT and they realised how much work goes into tenders, and what a manual, admin-heavy process it is to manage. This led them to ultimately go their own way and build Prospeum. Prospeum's features start with supplier scouting and vendor onboarding, and then moves through the complete sourcing process up to the point where a vendor is selected. Their focus is on the big ticket, complex services sourcing requirements in IT and marketing categories. It doesn't offer contract lifecycle management or SRM functionality: it is solely an e-sourcing platform. So, why not just use one of the established suites for this? Phil explains that the suites are often not just focused on e-sourcing and even those which do have strong e-sourcing modules tend to be a) difficult to use unless you've received a lot of training and b) usually designed with raw materials or commoditised goods in mind, meaning that none of the templates favour services. Sourcing nuanced, complex services is a whole different board game. Prospeum has a feature that enables pre-qualification of vendors before inviting them to an event, and then enables internal stakeholders and suppliers to collaborate on the platform. A welcome change to what usually happens, when stakeholders and suppliers just email you outside of the e-sourcing platform because they hate using it! Typical avatar customer for Prospeum? Any business with a large IT spend, typically the higher end of the mid-market towards enterprise level. Banking, financial services, insurance and high growth tech companies would be some examples that fall neatly into that category. https://prospeum.com/ (Prospeum website) https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipp-rathjen/ (Philip's LinkedIn profile) Apadua This one is a bit of an outlier because it's vendor funded. In other words, the suppliers pay to have a profile and a presence on Apadua rather than the buying organisation purchasing a SaaS subscription or a license to run the software. Here to tell us more about this unique approach is Gregory N. Vider, Apadua's Founder. Greg sees their strength as being "by procurement professionals, for procurement professionals", as both he and his co-founder Markus have a procurement background. Direct procurement is usually pretty strong in most companies, whereas indirect procurement and specifically services procurement usually lags behind in the maturity curve. This is especially applicable in smaller businesses, and as Greg explains, the platform can be used by SMEs with just a couple of million € spend, right the way up to enterprise level clients. The purpose of Apadua is to make services procurement free at the point of entry to buyers, while at the same time providing both sides with smart technology to create value together and build sustainable business relationships on an equal footing. But if your own incumbent vendors aren't on the platform, then what? You can also onboard your existing vendors onto the platform in plenty of time to run an RFP. Does Apadua have issues with getting vendors to pay to use the platform? Gregory argues that in industries such as consulting, for example, the sales cycle is not only notoriously slow but also very expensive. Instead of having to do business on the golf course or at corporate hospitality...
We're back with part 2 of a 3 part series of live episodes recorded at Procurement Summit in Berlin on 29 and 30 September 2021. Each podcast features a different theme, focusing on some of the newer, less well-known startups who pitched and exhibited during the summit to bring awareness to some of the exciting new players out there who have a bright future. Hot Digital Procurement Startups which Utilise AI and Game Theory to Deliver their Solution This episode is all about startups who heavily feature AI or game theory as part of their experience and solution. Pactum My first guest is Fabio Herle from Pactum. Pactum leverages AI and game theory to automate negotiations. Quite a bold claim to automate something that many procurement professionals have spent their whole careers trying to refine, improve and perfect! Fabio explains how the German-speaking area of Europe offers both challenges and advantages in equal measure. On the one hand, Procurement is a fairly mature function and there are some world class companies, procurement functions and well-managed processes. On the other hand, it's a more conservative business culture where resistance to change can be quite common. While Pactum was founded in Estonia, they are actually headquartered in the US. Not because of investment but due to ease of customer acquisition in relation to Europe's largest markets. So, what can it do, and what are its limitations? Fabio goes on to explain that Pactum is not able to replace a human in a complex negotiation which requires preparation, emotional intelligence and the need to maintain a strategic relationship with a critical vendor. Instead, Pactum focuses on automating negotiations for tactical purchases where it may not be the best use of a procurement professional's time, or where the spend would not have been previously managed by anyone in the procurement team because of the value of the transaction. NDAs and simple payment terms “horsetrading” are two examples which Fabio cites as being prime opportunities where Pactum can add value. The goal is that over time, it will be able to handle more complex negotiations as the AI matures. The example of being able to give counter offers and counter proposals, in a proper trading style negotiation, is an area where Fabio explains is part of Pactum's plans as the tool matures. Another advantage of using a machine is that it never forgets any of the details! This is definitely one to watch and a rapidly scaling company. https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabio-herle-272a545/ (Fabio's' LinkedIn profile) https://pactum.com/ (Pactum website) MySupply Next up is Andreas Zimmermann, CEO of MySupply. This is an e-sourcing tool, looking at some of the more tactical areas of sourcing. Whereas most e-sourcing tools tend to focus on strategic sourcing for highly complex tenders, MySupply focuses on the more straightforward sourcing requirements. The specific USP of MySupply is the engine behind the tender which guides it towards the right strategy e.g. should it be an auction, 3-bids-and-a-buy, simple RFP etc. Whereas it is primarily aimed at smaller and medium-sized businesses to provide a way to affordably bring more spend under control and negotiate with suppliers that otherwise would have been unmanaged, it also functions for larger businesses too for any sourcing requirements that are not complex. As with Pactum, this focuses on a problem that is coming more and more to the forefront. Namely, that Procurement often does not have the resources to get involved in non-strategic spend, but would like to get the savings or cost avoidance from being able to deal with this in a more automated and hands-off way. We talk about existing tools for e-sourcing and auctions, especially the more established players, not being intuitive or user-friendly. Moreover, these tools also don't really show or guide users towards the types of sourcing events...
This week, we bring you the first in a 3 part series of live episodes recorded at Procurement Summit in Berlin on 29 and 30 September 2021. We'll be covering a different theme on each episode, and featuring 3 procuretech startups each week.

Hot Digital Procurement and Supply Chain Startups in the ESG and Risk Management Space On this episode, we're looking at startups whose mission is solving problems in the rapidly growing and increasingly important ESG and Risk Management area. Shipzero Tobias Bohnhoff, Founder of Shipzero is my first guest. Shipzero tracks and manages transport emissions, helping freight buyers and logistics managers to have more transparency around their shipping data. The tool essentially enables companies to make strategic decisions around two key areas of transportation procurement and logistics management: Helping companies to reduce their overall transport footprint through optimisation of their freight operations. Evaluating different case scenarios when it comes to deciding which mode of transport to use. One part of this conundrum is actually looking at where to source goods from. The increasing cost, especially of ocean freight, is making companies reconsider lengthy supply chains where historically the logistics cost was not a major factor. Technology is now in place to enable data sharing between companies. The transportation market is very fragmented and contains a lot of smaller businesses who are not as technologically advanced as global logistics firms. Shipzero enables this data to be aggregated for the end customer. When it comes to decarbonisation, there are also the factors of considering transportation methods powered partly or wholly by renewable energy. Shipzero enables companies to simulate the CO2 emissions based on different transportation scenarios. The range and payload for electric trucks is different to diesel trucks. Using a granular data stream from the telematics of the truck allows you to make the decision of which methods or lanes for transport can be switched to transportation from renewable energy sources. Tobias mentions that any company with over €/$100 million annual turnover with significant transportation spend can benefit and see a positive payback of using the tool to optimise their transportation. I ask Tobias how he would convince a company who doesn't see this as a priority, to take action now rather than in a few years time. Then we round off the interview by looking at Shipzero's plans for future growth. https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobias-bohnhoff/ (Tobias' LinkedIn profile) https://www.shipzero.com/ (Shipzero website) Prewave Next up is Harald Nitschinger, CEO of risk management solution Prewave. Harald comes off the back of winning DPW's Startup Pitch competition during their virtual conference just a few weeks ago in September. So, what's so special about Prewave?! Well, it's certainly a hot topic with COVID-19, broken supply chains, the new “Lieferkettengesetz” (Supply Chain Law) coming into effect in Germany making it a topic and a solution very much in focus right now. Supply chains have never been less transparent and have never been more complex, with large organisations having tens of thousands of suppliers all over the world. Keeping on top of all of these transactions, past, present and future, is almost impossible without the help of technology. Potential scandals, force majeure events, natural disasters We take the hypothetical example of a child labour scandal for a textiles retailer using a supplier in Bangladesh: how could Prewave help to identify this before the story breaks and causes brand damage to the retailer. Harald explains the concept of “known locally,...
