’ m almost certain I’ m not alone in being asked several times a week: what is procurement? And, almost always, I find it much easier to provide a coherent answer by using realworld examples.

Here’ s hoping this month’ s edition of Procurement Magazine does just that, as we explore how procurement is helping a true automotive legend in the form of Lamborghini to deliver record-breaking numbers.

Elsewhere, Etosha Thurman, Chief Marketing Officer for Finance & Spend Management at SAP, discusses how procurement leaders can navigate increasing global complexities through the use of AI and digital solutions across the procure-topay process.

These features and much more offer further proof that, while untrained eyes and ears may not realise it, procurement really is all around us.

As always, thanks for reading and enjoy the issue.
