If we had to sum up our recent Procure to Pay (P2P) Network Event in just one word, it would be EXCELLENT.
From the moment we stepped into HSS ProService in Trafford, the atmosphere was set for a day of meaningful conversations, practical learning, and community connection. The venue was perfect, and the energy in the room was palpable.
💡 Outstanding Content & Engaged Contributions
The day was packed with outstanding content, and the contributions from our members were nothing short of inspiring. We explored a wide range of topics, but one of the key highlights was our session on designing our own KPIs, using a simple yet powerful framework:
This practical approach sparked great discussion and gave everyone something tangible to take back to their teams. (You can view and download the slides from the Resources section of our website.)
🔍 Deep Dive: Vendor Master Data
In the afternoon, we shifted gears and took a deep dive into vendor master data—a topic that generated a brilliant group discussion. We explored why it’s so critical to our P2P processes, how we collect and maintain it, and the challenges that arise when it’s overlooked. The insights shared across member organisations were incredibly valuable and highlighted the importance of data integrity in driving operational excellence.
