Procurement 2030: Designing a New Paradigm in a Weaponized, Planet-Constrained, AI-Driven World
Description
Procurement is at a turning point: it is undergoing its deepest transformation since its very emergence in the 1970s (in the aftermath of the oil crises).
Economic interdependence has shifted into “economic weaponization” (Farrell & Newman).
Seven of the nine Planetary Boundaries have now been crossed - making environmental constraints direct business constraints, but also major opportunities for visionary companies.
Meanwhile, Generative and Agentic AI are reshaping processes, roles, capabilities… and the very meaning of “value”.
Procurement must simultaneously enable enterprise transformation and reinvent itself. This is not incremental evolution.
It is a paradigm shift.
Dr. Natacha Trehan will share her prospective vision for Procurement 2030 and introduce a new paradigm for the function.
- What will be the new missions of Procurement?
- Why is traditional SRM no longer fit for purpose?
- Why are sourcing approaches becoming obsolete?
- What will Procurement organisations look like in 2030?
