Defense procurement: Challenges, strategic options and implications
What major challenges and barriers are involved in shifting procurement practices toward enhanced supply preparedness?
Breakfast is served from 07.30 am
The seminar asks the following questions: Firstly, what major challenges and barriers are involved in shifting procurement practices toward enhanced supply preparedness? And secondly, what examples of strategic options can be identified—what tactics, strategies, tools could support addressing the identified challenges, and thus enable a transformation of defense procurement operations?
With focus on the increased demand for preparedness and resilience in defense procurement this seminar presents and discusses challenges, strategic options and implications for defense procurement. What challenges are we facing, how are other countries handling similar challenges, and what are the implications for us? How do we proceed towards enhanced supply preparedness?
The picture of challenges is complex and originate and appear on different levels; from the influence of macro level laws and regulations on national and international public defense procurement, to the handling of complex international supply market structures and supply chains, to new demands on purchaser-supplier relations, and down to changing demands on the internal capabilities and processes of procurement staff and organizations.
Together we will discuss challenges, strategic options, implications and emerging issues for defense procurement, and market shaping implications.
