Panelists will speak on lessons from a broad range of combined experience in the field.
The first panel will focus on the greater procurement landscape and identify broad culture shifts that need to happen to transform the field of public procurement to deliver improved outcomes. The second panel will offer insight into specific, actionable recommendations for tackling common procurement hurdles and capitalizing on opportunities for growth for public procurement practitioners and teams.

This panel discussion accompanies the publication of Digital Transformation: Reconceptualizing Public Procurement to Strengthen State Benefits Delivery and Improve Outcomes, which looks at how digital systems that are procured by states have a direct impact on government services and the millions of people eligible for benefits. This report offers recommendations from experts in the field to improve benefit outcomes through public procurement reform. A link to the report will be shared at the event.
