term planning . The survey tells us the majority of procurement professionals ( 84 %) have put together roadmaps for the developments of their procurement function in the next one to three years , while 51 % have thought through their procurement development strategy for the next three to five years .
These roadmaps are key to building identity and prioritising activities and investments required to fulfil a vision , aligning with stakeholders , and chartering a team to execute .
