This session tackles one of the most persistent and under-resolved questions in workforce strategy: who really owns the contingent workforce?

If you look at a Venn diagram of the needs and drivers of Talent Leaders and Procurement Leaders, they rarely overlap, yet the alignment of these two partners is critical to managing a successful contingent workforce. The discussion will then broaden to examine how Talent Acquisition, Procurement, and governance functions can move beyond functional silos to build a high-impact partnership that balances compliance, cost, speed, and workforce agility.

This is a peer-led conversation focused on real operating models, not theory, designed to surface what is actually working inside complex organisations today.
