PROCUREMENT’ S TECH REVOLUTION NEEDS A HUMAN TOUCH
The procurement landscape is transforming at breakneck speed, with success relying on striking the perfect balance between cutting-edge technology and human expertise.
Our cover features Shelley Salomon, Global Vice President of Amazon Business on why now is the perfect time for reimagining future procurement, a topic that drove Amazon’ s recent ABX 2025 event.
We also reflect on our Digital Procurement Strategies panel in Chicago, where leaders discussed why complex decisions still demand human judgement alongside automation.
From McDonald’ s harnessing analytics for operational improvements to the NHS revolutionising construction through lean principles, organisations are discovering that strategic partnerships and long-term thinking trump short-term gains every time.
