“ THEREFORE I PREDICT THE ‘ WIN THAT SEIZE ON THE CURRENT C INNOVATION , BUT ENCOURAGE THAT DELIVER LOWER COST AN WINNING PRODUCTS "”
Q . WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE FOR PROCUREMENT PROFESSIONALS IN 2022 AND WHAT CAN THE INDUSTRY DO TO OVERCOME IT ?
» The biggest issue is often the sheer scale and complexity involved in procurement . The increasing number of suppliers , products and materials is often compounded by limited internal resources , which can leave clients feeling overwhelmed and with no option but to focus on the few . What the industry needs is a simplified system of supplier collaboration , with clear , measurable and actionable communications on what is needed and why , to help inform and empower them .
Q . WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE THE BIGGEST TREND IN 2023 FOR PROCUREMENT ?
» In the current uncertain economic climate , focus will be on cost and supplier consolidation . However , this can be a false economy . It can stifle innovation . Necessity is the mother of invention , and therefore I predict the ‘ winners ’ will be those that seize on the current conditions to not stifle innovation , but encourage and empower those that deliver lower cost and more sustainable , winning products .
