What’s ahead for procurement in 2025? Philip Ideson, Founder and Managing Director of Art of Procurement, answers this question as he shares five important trends that paint a clear picture of what’s to come.
You’ll learn:
- Why ‘doing more with less’ is here to stay
- Why AI is definitely here to stay
- How process-driven activities will be automated
- Why we’re in the midst of a return to stakeholder-led buying
- Why geopolitical changes are creating tailwinds for procurement
“As we stand here at the start of 2025, it’s clear that this moment isn’t about minor tweaks or incremental gains. It’s about embracing fundamental shifts that challenge our long-held assumptions,” said Philip.
Philip also discusses four critical roles that are emerging for procurement in 2025 and how procurement can thrive in this new reality.
“Procurement is standing on a precipice, an inflection point, where individual roles, processes and even procurement’s core purpose are being redefined right before our eyes,” adds Philip.
“Advancements in technology, economic pressures and shifting business needs have made it clear: procurement transformation isn’t on the horizon – it’s here now and it demands our immediate attention if we’re to emerge intact and, hopefully, even stronger.”
