Prior to March 2020, the world had been a pretty predictable place for procurement professionals.
Supply was plentiful, costs were contained and the focus for many was to put more eggs in one basket and reduce the number of suppliers that had to be managed. Today, that paradigm has been turned upside down.
As organizations increasingly look to procurement for solutions, supplier relationships and supplier diversity have never been more important. Indeed SRM could be the future of procurement.
