About the Webinar

Webinar Aired:  Wednesday 13th December 2017

Duration: 60 mins

Join author Silke Therhaag and Jonathan Dutton with Teresa Nagel from Open Windows as they address the SEVEN key issues behind the latest white paper, ‘Procurement’s Role in Local Government’.

Local councils in Australia spend roughly the same as federal government (around $34bn per annum). So, procurement is now a vital and essential part of what councils do. Indeed, it is increasingly a core capability to enable council’s vital services and programme provision. And, as councils aggregate more stakeholders are increasingly concerned with provenance, so the role of procurement will become more crucial to engineering better outcomes in future

In this webinar you will learn how Open Windows contract management automation software can help you with;

  • Procurement’s Value Proposition
  • Austerity
  • Innovation
  • Capability and Competence
  • Collaborations and Shared Services
  • Leadership and Culture Technology
