Masterclass Futureproof Procurement

Procurement as we know it will not exist in the future at all. We are in the middle of a transition: sustainability, circular economy, new business models, ecosystems, start-ups, digitalization, artificial intelligence, blockchain, predictive analytics, business alignment, strategic sourcing, change management. It’s not the question if procurement will undergo a radical reform, but when. To make sure we (Young Procurement Professionals) are ready for this new future we need to develop ourselves and work on our competencies.

The future is now, action is needed!
