Q . WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING PROCUREMENT TODAY ?
» It ’ s probably reimagining adaptation to risk . Procurement professionals are well-versed in addressing all manner of risk .

Organisations need to know where they stand on this , not just as an actor in its industry , but in terms of supporting democracy and freedom .
