The procurement industry faces an unprecedented convergence of challenges
In procurement, the current landscape is characterized by an array of never-yet-seen concerns that will require you to transform your established practices significantly. Chief among these challenges will be dealing with increasingly fragile supply chains. Also important will be making rapid technological advances that require a new cohort of procurement professionals who are proficient in digital innovations such as GenAI. Simultaneously, there is a growing demand for ethical and sustainable procurement practices, many of which have evolved from well-intentioned initiatives to become global mandates with legal regulations that companies must adhere to.
In turn, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions and skilled professionals. To emerge resilient in the face of these challenges, the industry must adapt swiftly and strategically. Through resilience and agility, procurement professionals can drive meaningful change within the industry.
