FOREWORD W elcome to the June edition of Supply Chain Digital !

This month ’ s issue brings us to Toronto , where we attended ProcureCon Canada and rubbed shoulders with business leaders to create some exclusive features and video content . For our cover feature , we spoke to Sheri Spinks , a prominent member of the Global Council for the Advancement of Women in Procurement , about how diversity has become increasingly important in the procurement space .
“ I would encourage more women to get into this space , to educate themselves and to be vocal about the value they can add to organisations ,” says Spinks . “ Women really do have a different perspective on things like negotiation and relationship building . Generally , we are more empathetic and tuned in with others , we ’ re good listeners , and we ’ re great at multitasking – these are skills that are highly valued .”
