APSentra successfully hosted the first Behind Procurement Live session on June 25, bringing together procurement and supply chain leaders to discuss a topic that is reshaping enterprise decision-making: why procurement should be treated as a strategic driver of investment rather than simply a cost-control function.
The live discussion featured distinguished industry experts:
Adam B., Founder of FlexChain, CSCMP, and President of the South Florida Roundtable
Sajjadul Mawla, PMP, CEO of Entech Consulting and Professor at George Brown Polytechnic
Together, they explored:
- When procurement should become part of major investment decisions
- The hidden costs of involving procurement too late
- How spend visibility, governance, and supplier strategy help protect return on investment
- Real-world enterprise examples and practical insights from the field
The session was designed as an open conversation, encouraging participants to engage with questions and share their own experiences rather than follow a scripted webinar format.
Thank you to everyone who joined us live and contributed to the discussion.
