Описание: In an era where business resilience is not a choice but a necessity, Aster Angagaw, VP, head of commercial, public, & strategic sectors at Amazon Business, delves into the intersection of agility and procurement innovation at Amazon Business Reshape 2023.

► Angagaw guides us through the critical role agility plays in future-proofing procurement operations—agile companies grow revenue 37% faster and generate 30% higher profits than non-agile companies. Throughout the talk, discover three critical procurement trends that, alongside Smart Business Buying, provide opportunities for procurement to future-proof operations and bake agility into everything they do.

Curiosity will enable leaders to raise the bar and unlock next-level agility. Angagaw shares a story about The Green Bay Area Public School District to reveal how improving efficiency led to cost savings.

► Finally, Angagaw explores how a shift to Smart Business Buying allows stakeholders beyond procurement to engage in everyday buying activities.
