Workshops & Conference Day One: May 19th, 2026

11:00 AM Workshop B7 PROVEN PROFIT IN 90 DAYS: A SHARED SERVICES AND PROCUREMENT ROADMAP

Shared Services and Procurement share a common goal—protect margins and drive value—but too often operate from fragmented data and disconnected priorities. The result? Missed discounts, contract drift, and recoveries that come too late.

Join David Brown, Senior Vice President of Audit Services, PRGX, for a practical session on bridging that gap—fast. Drawing on 20+ years of experience and insights from Global 2000 engagements, David will share a 5-step roadmap for aligning Shared Services and Procurement around your S2P data to quantify loss, stand up continuous monitoring, and prove impact to executive stakeholders. You'll see how purpose-built AI and deep expertise work together to drive measurable results—including a global manufacturer that recovered $98M and a leading grocer that delivered $27M in annual EBITDA gains.

Walk away with practical steps to start proving value in 90 days.

Key Takeaways:
1. Turn negotiation reality into auditable truth: Use AI to transform unstructured emails and negotiations into structured data that aligns intent, contracts, and execution.
2. Recover value faster without scaling teams: Apply AI to surface credits and adjustments at scale so human expertise focuses on validation and impact.
3. Stop value leakage before payment: Shift from reactive recovery to preventive controls that catch overpayments and compliance failures before cash leaves the business.
4. Unlock working capital hidden in payment data: Unify fragmented systems to turn payment timing, DPO, and process insight into measurable EBITDA gains.
5. Make contracts executable, not just stored: Use contract intelligence to move from static repositories to continuous compliance and realized savings.
