This edition of Procurement Magazine comes as conference season begins slowing down. But what an incredible few weeks it has been, from our own summit in London, to Amazon Business Reshape at the end of this month, it’ s been our busiest, but best, event season I can remember.

Thanks to everyone who attended our shows, gave me time at a Live Talk or sat down for an episode of Procurement Uncut – this magazine would not be what it is without you, so thank you.

This issue is jam packed with great features, including our cover story with Opella’ s Lyvio Frimat who explains how radical digital and cultural transformation is equipping his procurement team to adapt to a rapidly shifting world.
