Join UC Procurement for a session on smarter problem-solving
UC Procurement has launched a dynamic new virtual event series — Procurement Exchange: Insights for Innovation and Action — designed to spark ideas, share strategies and strengthen connections throughout the UC community.
Register for our next event: The Five Whys

Ashley Allred, director of procurement innovation and improvement, UC Systemwide Procurement, will lead a webinar on problem-solving.
If you’re curious how a simple question can unlock major breakthroughs, join us on Friday, Aug. 29, from 10 – 11 a.m. In this focused session, you’ll learn how asking “why” five times (or more!) can trace problems straight to their root. See how this lean-thinking root-cause analysis tool helps solve bottlenecks, improve workflows and drive continuous improvement.
Featuring Director of Procurement Innovation and Improvement Ashley Allred, this session will deliver a practical approach for smarter problem solving and clearer, quicker results. Don’t miss it!
