Last year’s inaugural CPO Honors Gala, which recognized Chief Procurement Officers and their teams for outstanding performance and execution over the last year, was such a smashing success that Ardent will reveal winners of this year’s industry achievement awards at the CPO Rising 2018 Summit Gala Dinner. We will present four companies with global procurement achievement awards (CPO Honors) for excellence demonstrated in these categories:

The Innovation Award: Presented to the CPO and team that have used new and innovative strategies and approaches to overcome significant hurdles.

The Technology Excellence Award: Presented to the CPO and team that have leveraged technology solutions to impact procurement operations and performance.

Best Team Performance Award: Presented to the procurement department that has excelled across the full scope of procurement operations to make a significant impact on overall enterprise results.

The Leadership Award (CPO of the Year): Presented to the CPO who has driven new performance heights as a result of their direct involvement and leadership and overall exceptional executive management.

“We distinguish top performers in all Ardent Partners’ research efforts as ‘Best-in-Class’ enterprises: from this group, our research team has identified a smaller list of procurement leaders and organizations who are notable for their transformative strategies and results.”

– Andrew Bartolini, Chief Research Officer, Ardent Partners

The CPO Honors winners will be selected based upon external nominations. If there is a CPO or other procurement leader who you think is deserving, make sure to submit your nomination here.
