Most organisations believe they have consultancy and professional services spend under control. The data often tells a different story.
Consultancy and professional services statements of work (SoW) often represent one of the largest areas of external workforce investment, yet they can remain one of the least visible. While pressure continues to grow around cost control, governance and value realisation, many organisations still struggle to build momentum for change.
Join Jon Milton, Growth Director at Reed Talent Solutions, and a select group of procurement leaders for an exclusive, interactive roundtable exploring one of the biggest opportunities for organisations seeking greater visibility, control, and value from consultancy and professional services spend.
Designed as a discussion, not a presentation, this session will challenge common assumptions, explore real-world scenarios, and debate the questions many organisations struggle to answer:
How do you make the challenge impossible for the business to ignore?
What evidence creates the strongest case for change?
Who should own the agenda across procurement, finance, HR, or transformation?
What does good look like in practice?
Throughout the session, participants will evaluate different stakeholder perspectives and discuss a simple but powerful question:
"Would this be enough to convince your organisation to act?"
What you'll gain
Practical arguments to help build support for change
Fresh perspectives from peers facing similar challenges
Insight into how different stakeholders view consultancy and services spend
Ideas for improving visibility, governance, and value delivery
Actionable takeaways you can apply within your organisation
This is a confidential, discussion-led session designed for senior procurement leaders. There are no presentations, and no obligation to contribute beyond your comfort level. The objective is simple: to leave with fresh thinking, practical ideas, and a stronger case for transformation.
Attendance is by invitation only and places are strictly limited.
