Ep 28 Inside Procurement: predictions for 2021
Welcome to the first 2021 episode of Inside Procurement – The Smart Cube’s forum for looking at the ideas, trends and developments that are influencing procurement leaders and functions that we work with today.
In this episode, Omer Abdullah kicks off with four predictions for the procurement world in the year ahead – covering risk management, agility, intelligence-led procurement and ecosystem thinking.
With several COVID vaccines now rolling out, it’s unlikely that we’ll face quite the same level of disruption we’ve experienced over the past twelve months. For that reason, it’s with a sense of cautious optimism that we’ve compiled a list of four Procurement trends that are expected to dominate 2021 – along with some thoughts on what Procurement leaders should be thinking about to make sure this is a successful year.
