Avetta User Conference in Dallas, Texas

Resumen de la Cumbre de Londres 2025

Whether you joined us in Sydney or couldn’t make it this time, the Avetta Summit brought together HSE, Procurement, and ESG leaders from across APAC to explore how organisations are redefining risk and building confidence beyond compliance. The conversation continues, and there’s plenty of value here for everyone.

Conclusiones clave

Confianza más allá del cumplimiento: información sobre adquisiciones, riesgos y asociaciones

En la Cumbre, los oradores hicieron hincapié en el cambio del cumplimiento tradicional a un enfoque más proactivo y basado en la inteligencia para abordar el riesgo de la cadena de suministro. El tema de
resonaron a lo largo del día y pusieron de relieve cómo los conocimientos impulsados por la IA y los ecosistemas conectados están transformando la gestión de los proveedores. Phil Varney, de Amazon, contó cómo su equipo rediseñó la aplicación de la ley mediante la introducción de controles en los puntos de venta, a fin de garantizar que los proveedores cumplan con los requisitos de cumplimiento antes de llegar a las instalaciones. Este enfoque redujo los cuellos de botella operativos y ayudó a ampliar la seguridad en la vasta red de Amazon. Los asistentes analizaron cómo la alineación de las funciones de compras, seguridad, seguridad y seguridad (con el apoyo de Avetta) permite a las organizaciones anticiparse a los desafíos, empoderar a los proveedores y desarrollar operaciones más seguras y resilientes. Las asociaciones estratégicas, incluidas aquellas con SAP, mostraron cómo las tecnologías integradas impulsan decisiones más inteligentes, mejoran la visibilidad y fomentan la confianza a largo plazo en toda la cadena de suministro.

Liderar con empatía y resiliencia: un nuevo plan para el riesgo y la seguridad

Rosie Russell, presidenta del IIRSM, retó a los asistentes a repensar los modelos de cumplimiento tradicionales y adoptar un enfoque de riesgo y seguridad más holístico y centrado en las personas. Su discurso de apertura hizo hincapié en que la verdadera resiliencia operativa proviene del liderazgo empático, la seguridad psicológica y una cultura del cuidado. Basándose en modelos de liderazgo basados en el ejército y en el concepto japonés del ikigai, Rosie ilustró cómo las organizaciones pueden prosperar al alinear los propósitos, la preparación y las personas. Instó a los líderes a ir más allá de las listas de verificación y fomentar entornos en los que las personas se sientan empoderadas para alzar la voz, innovar y adaptarse, especialmente ante la evolución de los riesgos. Su mensaje fue claro: la confianza más allá del cumplimiento no es solo un objetivo, sino la base de las organizaciones sostenibles y resilientes.

La colaboración con los proveedores es una ventaja competitiva

Sesiones como el Compromiso con la experiencia del proveedor y el panel de clientes de Avetta confirmaron que las relaciones con los proveedores son más que transaccionales: son estratégicas. Desde la incorporación simplificada y la facturación transparente hasta las integraciones de API y el soporte durante todo el ciclo de vida, las inversiones de Avetta en la experiencia de los proveedores ayudan a las organizaciones a ampliar el cumplimiento y el rendimiento en todos los países. Como dijo Courtney Chambers, directora ejecutiva de C4 Cleaning, durante nuestro panel de clientes: «Represento a un grupo demográfico de proveedores que tal vez no tengan tanta experiencia. Si realmente quieres sacar el máximo partido a la plataforma, tienes que asegurarte de que dispones de mecanismos de apoyo que ayuden a los proveedores a ponerse en contacto con ella y a cumplir con las normas». Sus comentarios reflejan una verdad más amplia: cuando los proveedores se sienten empoderados y respaldados, es más probable que se involucren, crezcan y entreguen valor.

Cultura, cuidado y riesgo: un enfoque de seguridad centrado en las personas

Tim Marsh impartió una sesión rápida y atractiva sobre cómo las organizaciones pueden construir lugares de trabajo más seguros y resilientes centrándose en el comportamiento humano, la seguridad psicológica y la cultura. Hizo hincapié en que la mayoría de los incidentes se deben al diseño organizacional, no a un error individual, y que la empatía, la orientación y la curiosidad son fundamentales para crear una cultura de excelencia.

Integrar la ESG y la seguridad en la estrategia: del cumplimiento a la ventaja competitiva

Los ponentes Mike Ford, Elisa y Alessandro hicieron hincapié en que los criterios ESG y la seguridad ya no son iniciativas independientes, sino imperativos estratégicos integrados en el tejido empresarial moderno. Desde las disrupciones geopolíticas hasta la evolución de las normativas, como la CSRD y la CSDDD, las organizaciones se ven sometidas a una presión cada vez mayor para que demuestren transparencia, resiliencia y un abastecimiento ético en todas sus cadenas de suministro.

Los clientes lideran el camino

Los panelistas de clientes de Amazon, ABM, Cushman & Wakefield, C4 Cleaning y Bluefield Partners compartieron cómo están profundizando sus asociaciones con Avetta para impulsar un cambio real en sus organizaciones. Cada uno de los ponentes ofreció información práctica sobre lo que funciona (y lo que no) a la hora de implementar el cumplimiento y la gestión de riesgos a gran escala, desde ampliar los programas de seguridad y mejorar la visibilidad en materia de ESG hasta dotar a los proveedores de un mejor soporte de incorporación.
