ADAPTABILITY
The theme for 2026 – Adaptability.
As 2026 melds into 2027, procurement success increasingly means mastering change. As our volatile world vents around us, how exactly does procurement have to change to better meet our stakeholders’ changing needs?
Procurement has to evolve
To better manage PESTLE changes, geopolitical risk, ESG demands, net zero targets, technology, AI, inflationary times, cost-of-living crises, supply resilience needs, service-focussed stakeholders … all drive change.
How procurement can adapt – now and in future?
In what ways must procurement adapt within the medium term? In our strategies & processes? Our relationships & approaches? Our goals & our thinking? Our traditions and our measures? How do we adapt? And, by when?
What should be our strategies to adapt
What are the emergent strategies for success? How are we sense-making today on the procurement omni-pressures? What does adapting mean for our operating models? Our technology? The information we need? The tools we use? The process? Our capability and skill sets? How we utilise AI? What will ‘transformation 2.0’ look like? Which is first? Then, what next?
Just how Procurement can evolve will be addressed in every part of the ConfeX’26 programme, with over 35 speakers addressing every aspect of adaptability in a modern procurement role, equipping you and your team with practical strategies to thrive in an evolving landscape.
