David Rickard, Partner at Everest Group, will be speaking at the World Procurement Excellence Summit. His will discuss how sourcing teams should adapt to emerging technology trends:
Everest Group’s Eric Simonson, Managing Partner, and Rita N. Soni, Principal Analyst for Impact Sourcing and Sustainability, will attend the Clinton Global Initiative 2023 meeting on September 18-19 in New York City. This year’s focus is what it takes to keep going.
Last year, Everest Group pledged to dramatically increase the impact sourcing workforce – connecting hundreds of thousands of marginalized individuals to new jobs – by providing research and enablement tools, sharing best practices, and engaging enterprises, service providers, governments, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in collaborative efforts.
Everest Group’s Commitment to Action is to grow the impact sourcing market to half a million in three years. As the CGI community knows, making and keeping commitments isn’t easy. Despite this, we know the antidote is as simple as it is true – we must keep going.
Eric and Rita will join colleagues and global stakeholders at the event to discuss impact sourcing, the potential it provides to companies and underserved communities around the world, and initiatives to help companies incorporate impact sourcing into their business models.

Speakers
Talent, be it in-house or with your sourcing partners, has become complex in 2023. Global services, especially, are always on the lookout for talent sources that are highly engaged and stable, ensuring high-quality work and low attrition. Impact Sourcing, or hiring skilled and motivated talent from disadvantaged groups around the world, is proving to be a solution – helping forward-thinking organizations tap into new talent pools, fill roles, create pipelines, and realize substantial business benefits.
Everest Group has designed a panel for Athena Alliance leaders and decision-makers. CXOs and several founders will share real-world lessons on creating an inclusive workforce focusing on marginalized communities and the business case to persuade the skeptics. All have a particular focus on women – as UN Women calls it – Gender Responsive Procurement. You will want to engage all these companies because of how they are marrying quality global services and sustainability, the ultimate of “doing good while doing well.”

Join Everest Group Partner, David Rickard, on the 25th April at 09:30AM – 11:00AM in this virtual event as the panel looks at examples of those who have successfully implemented agile sourcing and the challenges they have faced along the way.
Agile sourcing is a strategy that prioritises flexibility, speed, and collaboration between the sourcing team and supplier. It is something all procurement and sourcing professionals are aware of as a concept and many claim to understand to a greater or lesser degree. But how many know the right time and place to implement it?
To implement an agile sourcing strategy, companies should focus on developing the skills of their sourcing team, investing in technology that supports collaboration and real-time communication, and establishing clear processes and guidelines. First and foremost it’s important to understand the key fundamentals of agile sourcing and then to pick the right projects to take down this path.
Everest Group is a proud sponsor of SIG’s 2023 Procurement Technology Summit, taking place from April 16 – 19, 2023, at the Omni Amelia Island Resort in Amelia Island, FL.
Everest Group Partners Jimit Arora and Amy Fong will be presenting at the event in a topic-based roundtable discussion titled, Controlling the Sprawl: A Template for Managing Your IT Tail.
Questions to consider during this roundtable discussion include:
The ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) report released in September 2022, Finance Shared Services to Global Business Services: A Journey Worth Taking? evaluated the relative maturity of Finance Shared Services (FSS) organisations compared to Global Business Services (GBS), across the dimensions of people, process, and technology. The results of the analysis, based on the responses of over 800 organisations, run counter to the commonly held belief that GBS, rather than FSS models, should be the destination of leading organisations. The findings consider the current challenges as well as prevailing opportunities for driving future success.
ACCA, PwC, and Everest Group, along with leaders of other leading enterprise operations, will debate the merits, opportunities, and challenges of moving from a finance-focused business services organisation to a multi-functional, integrated operation at a roundtable on Wednesday, 1 March 2023 in London.
This is an invite-only event. If you are interested in joining roundtable discussions, contact Susan Sehmi.
