2026: THE YEAR PROCUREMENT COMES OF AGE?
As we move into 2026, it is shaping up into another transformative year. The best procurement teams will spend the next 12 months shaping business strategy, lead boardroom discussions on innovation, resilience and growth and invest into technology and talent development.
The leaders will emphasise partnerships rather than transactions – it all points to something significant. Procurement has shed its old reputation and emerged as a genuine value driver.
If the momentum continues, 2026 might just be remembered as the year procurement truly came of age.
