Over the past decade, governments have taken a number of steps to improve the procurement function: the introduction of category management, contract vehicle consolidation, and the roll out of more sophisticated IT systems for managing purchases. These actions have improved the performance of procurement offices, yet pain points still persist. Fragmented buying practices, increasing complexity of the procurement process, and administrative layers make government buying more expensive and less efficient. The labyrinth of rules, processes, and paper-based procedures are incompatible with today’s pace of business. The convergence of digital technologies, analytics and collaboration enables government procurement offices to unlock cost savings, improve performance, and deliver a public sector that works better for citizens.

2021 Trends in Agricultural and Soft Commodities TradingCTRM Center
Arguably, all commodity and commodity-exposed businesses are facing unprecedented change and disruption. These numerous challenges range from climate and carbon to COVID lockdowns and work from home, to managing geopolitical and operational risks through supply chains while seeking to digitalise, automate and increase efficiencies across the business.
While talk of a new commodities supercycle may be premature, global population growth and the resulting increased demand suggest rising prices and volatilities, especially in agricultural commodities. Companies need enhanced agility in such markets. It starts with a modern software platform that provides adequate visibility and control over the business, from managing physical movements to limiting risks and exposure.

The document discusses the industrial internet market validation study. It defines key terms like industrial internet, internet of things, big data, and internet of everything. The industrial internet involves integrating physical machinery with sensors and software to ingest and analyze machine data in real-time. There are several challenges to the industrial internet's adoption, including skills shortages, security concerns, and limited data analysis capabilities. However, the market size is immense, estimated at $29.8 trillion in global output affected. The outlook for Finnish companies in data analytics and visualization is positive given their expertise.
The automotive industry stands at an inflection point. Decades of progress across safety, connectivity and performance have led to a drastic change in the vehicles on the road and for sale today. In addition, several colossal technology-driven changes are on the near horizon, which will in turn lead to even more drastic changes for the industry.
As these transformations occur, the automotive industry is leaning on Automotive Technology (“Auto Tech”) businesses for help. Automotive businesses throughout the supply chain are improving themselves by injecting digitization, intelligence and automation into existing processes. Auto Tech companies enable auto businesses to do so by providing software, data & analytics and outsourcing solutions. New businesses are emerging, both to take market share from incumbents through technology-driven processes as well as leveraging emerging technology to create new markets (e.g. Uber & Lyft using ubiquitous wireless broadband connectivity and smartphone adoption to create the ride-hailing industry). Catalyst is looking to partner with exciting businesses at the heart of the automotive industry transformation. Catalyst is also interested in technology businesses serving verticals adjacent to automotive including trucks & trailers, power sports, recreational vehicles and boats.

While digital transformation is often focused on enhancing customer interactions, the document finds that the greatest impact may come from cost savings and operational changes beyond customer interfaces. An analysis of multiple industries found that the average potential bottom-line impact from cost reductions through digital transformation is 36% over five years, compared to an average of 20% from increased digital sales. To fully capture potential value, companies need to take a holistic view and apply digital tools across their entire business model and value chain, not just in customer-facing areas.
This document discusses how cloud computing can help governments address challenges related to budget constraints, higher citizen service demands, and increasing IT complexity. Cloud computing allows governments to improve efficiency through shared IT resources, faster deployment of new capabilities, improved consistency of new capabilities, and faster integration with partners. Overall, cloud computing provides dynamically scalable resources that can help governments streamline processes, simplify reporting, integrate service delivery, and place high-demand services online to better serve citizens.
Need, importance and benefits of digitisation of public sector by using digital technologies as an integrated part of its service delivery mechanism cannot be overemphasised.
However, despite recognizing the need for the digitization of public services, governments in the developing countries are not giving it the importance it deserves.
In this presentation, I discuss the four areas to focus, four public policy issues to tackle and four steps to take for putting a country to its long-term trajectory of digital transformation

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Digital procurement for maximum public value
As the technological renaissance
unfurls, public sector leaders
are embedding digital into the
government enterprise and
reinventing public sector delivery
— the procurement function is
no exception. The long-standing
operations of public sector
procurement — centered on
thorough processes and minimizing
risk above all else — is outdated
and increasingly unresponsive to
digital disruption. Recognizing the
outsized importance of government
procurement and its outdated and
legacy operations — digital adoption
can unlock significant value for
public sector procurement.

Procurement’s growing role
Delivering a leading public sector procurement focuses on three
critical functions. These core functions comprise delivering services
and public goods to citizens directly and indirectly such as health care,
infrastructure, and defense and security; a strategic economic and
social policy lever such as economic development, reducing inequality,
and raising standards of living and; operation of public sector agencies
and programs. Global government procurement ranges from 12.6% of
GDP in high-income countries to 14.4% of GDP in low-income countries.
The largest shares of spending are located in South Asia and Africa,
while spending as a percentage of GDP is on similar levels in North
America, Europe and Central Asia (Figure 1).1

5. Digital across the procurement
enterprise
Procurement offices have long been stymied by
inefficient administrative functions and poorly
performing digital tools across the enterprise.
These challenges have been caused by siloed
information and information systems, lack of data
analytics, limited view into costs and difficulty
adhering to procurement mandates. These
inefficiencies and duplicities in the procurement
office cost governments billions. A report from the
US Government Accountability Office found that if
agencies engaged in more strategic sourcing, shifted
away from numerous individual procurements to an
aggregate approach and reconciled using digital tools,
they could achieve $1.3 billion in savings.
Over the past decade, governments have taken a
number of steps to improve the procurement function.
This includes the overhaul of procurement function
through category management, contract vehicle
consolidation and roll out of more sophisticated IT
systems for the procurement function. These actions
have improved the performance of procurement
offices, yet significant pain points such as lack of
automation, visibility in operations and integration
still persist. The convergence of digital technologies,
analytics and collaboration enables government
procurement offices to unlock a myriad of cost-
savings and value propositions (Figure 3).

Public sector procurement offices still rely on paper-based,
process-oriented systems that lacks full coherence into
spending, cost management and performance. The overlay
of traditional contract management that had a place in a
lower-tech world is now ill served for the digital economy.
Manual sourcing for low-complexity tasks, inconsistent
and nonstandard procedures, and tedious reporting
tasks with minimal output hamper the function of public
sector procurement offices. Moreover, there is a lack of
integration between human and digital processes, drawn
out practices for complex procurements, and inactive
monitoring of performance.
6. 6 Legacy to leading: transforming public sector procurement | EY Knowledge Global Government and Public Sector Insights
The convergence of digital technologies, analytics and
collaboration creates a step-change in the function of
public sector procurement offices. Digital-first enables
governments to dramatically alter the life cycle of
the procurement function from a legacy to leading
operation. Achieving full value is the combination of a
strategic procurement organization enabled by digitally
focused operations and capabilities. Digital procurement
enablement focuses on building a strategic operation
that integrates cost reduction, improves and enhances
compliance, accelerates processing of procurement
functions, provides greater visibility into the supply chain
and monitors proactive risk management of operations.
This leads to smarter collaboration among internal teams,
vendors and support functions of the procurement office
across the acquisition process (Figure 4).

Helping governments build a
digital procurement strategy
The key to building a digital-first procurement office is
assessing digital maturity. How are the value drivers of
government procurement being affected by digital? To
what extent does public sector procurement strategy ease
the risks of digital disruption while leveraging the potential
upside? Most governments have invested in digital to
varying levels of success. Laying the groundwork for a
digital-first public sector procurement strategy involves
setting out leading practices that demonstrate successful
use-cases followed by building a digital procurement
strategy.
Digital enablement in support of procurement adds
immediate value through increased productivity, spending

and cost reduction and improved working capital flows
and asset management. Leading practices across the
procurement function include artificial intelligence, robotic
process automation and cloud integration tools with
requisitioning, approval, and purchase order generation,
blockchain integration for contract management and
cost optimization, and smart contracting ensuring better
transparency and compliance. Overall organizational
effectiveness comes in the form of procurement
operations that are faster, better, smarter, more secure
and cheaper.
These gains can be translated across the public sector’s
procurement enterprise at all levels of government by
aligning digital solutions with an organizational strategy.
Evaluating a government procurement office’s ability to
leverage digital technology begins with assessing digital
maturity and measuring current capabilities against
aspirations (Figure 5).

Next, define future channel and required capabilities. The
final steps encompass planning, prioritizing capabilities
and building the business case. The end result is the
development of a digital road map centering on investment
and implementation.
The path forward for digital
procurement
Recognizing outdated technologies and processes,
governments are reforming public procurement systems
by developing and adopting new technologies, tools and
governance in order to better manage public resource
spending. Efficient and effective public procurement
is essential to responding to the needs of the citizens,
standing as a beacon of good governance and helping
to restore trust in the public sector. As digital tools are
linked across the enterprise, procurement leaders are
empowered to make the right decisions in a way that’s
responsive to internal and external challenges. Most
importantly, this will lead to a clearer understanding of
where their resources go, what they get in return and
whether the investment works.
