We both share the goal and vision for supporting the transformation of procurement as a discipline and to be a driver for change, maturity and innovation. We’re already seeing a rapid increase in the number of online solutions to measure the wider economic, social and environmental benefits of procurements at local, regional and national level. The use of these tools is a huge step forward in helping to understand the contribution procurement projects are making to society. I believe procurement will have an increasingly strategic role to play. A shift away from the operational and transactional can only be achieved by embracing new technology. And the value-adding activities will not only contribute to bottom-line cost savings but more importantly, will be responsible for continuing to drive innovation in the years ahead.
