Register for Ricoh’s Round-table
Ricoh. Imagine. Change.
After successfully collaborating during YPP’s 2014 conference we join forces with Ricoh again. This time we will organize a round table event where we will discuss several topics that may change the role of procurement in the future. What impact will e-sourcing have on our ways of working? Can procurement ever be fully automated? What will the impact of 3D printing be?
During this event Ricoh and YPP will host multiple workshops analyzing the buyer’s role of the future and evaluating the impact on 3D printing on procurement.
Do you ever wonder what is needed in terms of people, technology and processes in order to shift from operational to tactical and strategic procurement? Are you curious to hear what Ricoh’s vision/ strategy is concerning these shifts? Can you imagine a world where we will only be shipping raw materials? Join us to discuss and perhaps get a glimpse of what we do not know today but can severely change tomorrow. See you on the 3rd of November at Ricoh in Den Bosch!
Be sure to block your agendas and we hope to see you there!
When: 3rd November
Walk-in: 17:30 (Drinks and small bite to eat will be provided)
Duration: 18:00 – 21:00

Who is our mystery speaker ?
Our last key speaker of the day at our conference on the 9th is a surprise! However to give you a glimpse into the scene we are going to step into at the end of the day.
“Are you aware that even when we are convinced that we are being rational, our brain plays tricks on our perception? Just imagine how this is used in marketing, negotiations and other commercial activities.”

Back from holiday and back to work? Now is the time to rethink your career!
Are you dealing with questions like; Is this what I really want in my (professional) career? Then it might be helpful to start sorting out the basics first; who am I, what am I good at, and what could be my next step?
Would you like insight in the following aspects?
- What motivates you and gives you energy?
- Your strong and weak competences?
- Which skills you have and what your talent is?
If you need someone to discuss these questions with, please contact us. We can support you with the above mentioned questions and issues to get insight in your personal and professional development (work, education and career). We are able to support you to gain a perspective into your (work-related) goals and increase your confidence and self-knowledge. Even if you only need an audience, we are here to support you.
Would you like to rehearse your job interview with an experienced recruiter? Also if you would like to have professional coaching in reviewing your Curriculum Vitae and/or a professional analysis of your cover letter, we can help.
