CIPS Switzerland Event, 12th November 2025
The majority of us spend our working lives in organisations that share one thing in common, a pyramid structure where decision making is located with only a few people. That can be a sensible way to organise, but what if there were another way? If you have read ‘Corporate Rebels’ by Joost Minnaar and Pim de Morree, you will have learned about companies operating outside this conventional norm. In Switzerland there are many more examples than I would have guessed, which you can learn about through the Zukunftspioniere Podcast published by Team-Factory. We thought it would be great to run a CIPS event, together with Team-Factory, but also with one of the companies who appear both in the book and on the podcast, Everllence in Zürich. We have the opportunity to walk the factory floor and then hear from the team on how they re-organized themselves.
Why should you join this event? If you have ever been frustrated by the way that decisions get made, how companies and teams are organised, why you cannot take more ownership of your role, or if you are curious about different ways of working, then this event is for you! We will also have the opportunity to explore and discuss what it would mean to work in Procurement in such a set up. We are very keen to get your thoughts and questions as part of the discussion.
The formal event posting and registration through CIPS will be here in a few days, but thought it would be good to plant the seeds and send the ‘save the date’. If you use the LinkedIn Event page to say you will attend, we will keep you up to date with the registration process
