IAOP Office Hours: Sourcing Governance

Image

Presented by the Collaborative Supplier Governance CoE

In Chicago, the governance discussion ran out of time long before it ran out of questions. Rather than let those sit until October, the CoE is opening the floor again.  This is an unscripted hour. No deck — just the questions the group brings and four people who've spent real time on the other side of them:

  • Audrey Cushing, Vee Technologies

  • Clif Gustafson, Atlantic Bay Mortgage

  • Michael Nacarato, Transamerica

  • Jim Lee, Avasant

Expect candor about where governance models are straining, what the AI conversation has actually changed, and the parts nobody has solved yet.  What surfaces here shapes the agenda for GOV26 in Washington, D.C. on October 14 — a working session, not a lecture. Consider this the warm-up.

Have a question?

Add it when you register, or send it anytime before the 24th: Submit a question. The harder ones tend to make for the better hour.
