Unimarket Now 2015 in Review!

Wednesday concluded Unimarket Now!’s Fifth Annual User Conference. The three day event was overall motivational and informative. Among the highlights was opening presenter Howard Teibel, expert in change management and leadership training and president of Teibel Inc, speaking on managing organizational change. If there’s one thing that’s constant; it’s change. And while we all experience it both professionally and personally, some are more open and ready for change than others. In his presentation, Teibel explained how to motivate those who are resistant to change and how to approach varying levels of engagement. He states: “Change is everywhere. As a leader in your institution, you must know how to navigate change in order to improve all aspects of you work and personal life.”

The three day conference was marked with a number of informative sessions from ranging from supplier perspectives panels to e-procurement discussions. Source One also joined the event agenda. Latin America strategic sourcing pundit, Diego De La Garza shared with the audience Source One’s procurement consulting service offering. In addition, De la Garza moderated the Knowledge Sharing Roundtable, discussing sourcing strategies along with contract and change management.

The Procurement professionals in attendance also had the pleasure of an evening cruise aboard the Mystic Blue, flanked by the gorgeous Chicago skyline.
