Procurement and supply is at the heart of a modern economy. Our profession is a pivotal business function, the fulcrum for the growth and success of organisations, economies and societies around the world.
But with this growing influence comes intense pressures and workload strains. The external factors impacting procurement and supply professionals are highly volatile. Procurement and supply teams are accountable to multiple stakeholders who don’t always share the same outlook and there is no standard position in the org chart for procurement and supply.
This, in summary, is the picture emerging from the first ever CIPS Global State of Procurement & Supply survey, a new annual initiative, supported by GEP, that we aim to grow into the most authoritative global study of procurement and supply opinion.
