Procurement organizations are no strangers to change, but, over the past few years, the rate and scale of that change have both increased in a way that even veterans of the profession might not have expected. The impact of this change has clearly registered with procurement leaders, many of whom are now working hard to prepare their teams for future shifts and disruptions.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Ted Nordquist. Ted is the CEO of Sourcian Partner, a professional services firm based in Sweden.

During their conversation, Ted shares how current and past challenges are shaping the procurement teams of tomorrow:

• The circumstances and events that have had the greatest impact on procurement
• The technical and ‘soft’ skills that will be most in demand moving forward
• Why communication is key to ensuring procurement receives the recognition and influence they deserve
