The OESA CPO Council offers compelling insights and actionable content for senior purchasing executives of North American suppliers. This dynamic group enjoys the opportunity to engage with industry peers who are well versed with a range of tools to leverage opportunities while navigating pitfalls across global automotive supply chains. Members of this group include CPOs, presidents, directors and other senior purchasing executives of automotive suppliers. These leaders gather four times per year to gain valuable insights from thought leaders on specific topics to help them make better informed decisions and gather dynamic perspectives from trusted members of their extended professional network.
CPO council meetings include three key parts. Following a welcome to current members and guests, attendees join a brief breakout session to network and raise topics of common interest or concern to be discussed in the Roundtable session. Thereafter, members learn rich insights from subject matter experts on curated topics of interest established by the council’s Board of Governors.
Past presentations include updates on Managing Distressed Supplier Risks, Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Auto Technology Highlights, MRO Best Practices as well as Proactive Supplier Readiness Insights, IATF 16949: Key Supplier Priorities as well as Regulatory Policy Debrief on USMCA and Tariff Dynamics. The CPO Council also receives updates on the quarterly OESA Supplier Barometer.
After these insights, the meeting then shifts to the roundtable discussion, where members may seek feedback or ask questions, share experiences or provide valuable input from past lessons learned in a trusted environment. Council members benefit from the collective expertise of their council peers as a means to continually learn and improve to help save valuable time and critical resources.
