Where CPO and CIO roles intersect across IT sourcing and vendor management
How procurement and IT responsibilities overlap across the vendor lifecycle
Practical approaches to strengthen CPO–CIO collaboration
How stronger alignment can improve value, efficiency and risk management
Procurement and IT are increasingly interdependent, yet organizations often miss opportunities to align these functions. This session explores the key intersections between CPO and CIO roles, particularly across IT sourcing, vendor management and the supplier lifecycle.
Gartner experts will outline how closer collaboration can improve alignment on technology strategy and requirements, strengthen compliance with procurement and risk processes and create more coordinated planning for major investments. The discussion also highlights how clearer roles and responsibilities can reduce duplication, increase efficiency and unlock more meaningful savings through coordinated negotiations.
