Procurement leaders around the world have been facing new levels of demand, with increasingly heightened expectations. As a result, the role of procurement is changing, unlocked by geopolitical events and the rise in AI adoption. Traditional procurement was spreadsheet and email heavy, with contracts taking extended periods of time to sign and background checks causing delays – particularly as the geopolitical landscape shifted and the rules of trade moved.
