Stephany Lapierre is the CEO of Tealbook, a supplier intelligence platform with the power to revolutionize the way buyers obtain supplier data. Data Unleashed is an unscripted, authentic, and candid discussion between Stephany and the customers, chief procurement officers, influencers, top leaders, partners, entrepreneurs, and investors who inspire her every day.
These amazing people are passionate about leadership and advancing the procurement function and the impact of data and achieving digital procurement success. While most are still looking for answers and hearing from peers, Stephany has decided to open some of those discussion to share them with our community.
10 - The Future of the Procurement Technology Landscape
“Consolidation doesn't necessarily mean innovation going away. Sometimes two things that join together end up being greater than the sum of their parts. There are some things that I wish were already consolidated. I won't name specifics, but some things make more sense together than apart. And when it comes to the future of the market … look, I mean, I talk to investors all the time who say, Wow, this is a highly fragmented market. And I pull up slides of different visualizations, like logo maps, as the ones we see from Kearney or the ones we see from other firms, it’s like, Yeah, there's a lot. And we throw more logos on this slide every single year. So it's a time for reorganizing a competitive landscape.”

09 - Creating an Intelligent Spend Community Strategy with SAP
“Where does the business network come in? It's an operational extension of your company, so this can make it happen. Think about this example of when many, many moons ago we all joined LinkedIn. What was the first thing that LinkedIn did? They said, Give me your Outlook address book and I'll tell you how many of your address book are already members. That's the same concept we do with the business network. So if you're not a member, you have your supplier, vendor master data, and then we'll load that into our network, and say 40 to 50% of that population is already a network member because of the work of the others. So you're basically coming into, say, the next year and you're not a member of a network, but then you can say, Oh, I can actually pull that off because I don't have to invite all these thousands of companies to connect with me. I just put my hand up… and say, I want to be connected to this already existing network member.”

08 - How to architect agile innovation with supplier data
“What's critical is that you have the capability, the resources to find these use cases, and the pragmatic approach on how to work with data. Far too often people hide behind ‘cannot consolidate that’ or ‘cannot add that together, and that's why I struggle’. Why don't you put them up in a data lake that allows you to ignore all the source differences and pick what you need and harmonize what you want to look at, because you should know where your challenges are.”

07 - Setting the stage for start-up success with Matthias Gutzmann
“I think the conference, I think it's a great starting point to meet some of those startups that are really getting traction in the space. … So we have some of the really great startups at the conference. And yeah, I think honestly, going out and getting inspired by the visions of those startups is something I encourage. And I think the conference can help. I mean, the conference is really more around inspiration in the end, right? So I wish everyone would go back then and maybe test out some of the solutions.”

06 - Navigating disruption: what CPOs need to know right now
"If you master the data in procurement, you’ll have an advantage by getting access early to information, and also having an early warning system. What might help you to prepare your supply chain, your manufacturing process, your logistics in a meaningful way…this is really where I believe the power of data and who will master the data in the future will win in procurement and by that will help his or her company to be successful and really go to the next level." - Dr. Marcell Vollmer, CEO of Prospitalia Group

03 - Transforming procurement with Autonomous Commerce with Jim Bureau
“And what autonomous commerce means to us is the ability to bring buyers, suppliers, partners, things together in a self governing, multi-tenant, SAS platform for end to end B2B commerce. And so if you think about what's required in order to get autonomous commerce, there's a couple of key elements of that, one of which is data.”

02 - Pushing for the future of procurement with Dr. Elouise Epstein
“Fundamentally, every supply chain disruption we have today is because of design choices we made 10 or 20 years ago. And so if we don't start to change the thinking for the next 10 to 20 years now, we're just going to keep pushing that timeline out. And we're going to go from one disruption to another, all we're going to be is the disruption responders. And I want to get us beyond that as a profession.”
