What you'll learn?
Over the past two decades, procurement has evolved from a tactical, cost-saving operation into a strategic driver of business resilience, innovation, and competitive advantage. Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) have guided organizations through financial crises, a global pandemic, geopolitical instability, and rapid digitalization—all while navigating complexity, mitigating risk, and delivering measurable value. As Ardent Partners authors its 20th annual State of Procurement report, CPOs remain central to shaping the future of procurement and the global supply chain, standing firm through new waves of uncertainty.
In 2025, businesses face an imperfect storm of persistent inflation, fragile supply chains, escalating geopolitical conflicts, and rapid technological disruption. Against this backdrop, intelligent, AI-driven procurement is emerging as a transformative force, promising greater efficiency, intelligence, and agility. This webinar reflects on two decades of procurement evolution while focusing on the present, offering insights from 326 CPOs and procurement leaders to help teams benchmark best practices, optimize operations, and prepare for the complex challenges ahead.
- Highlights two decades of procurement transformation and CPO leadership
- Provides insights into navigating today’s economic, geopolitical, and technological challenges
- Showcases the rise of AI-driven procurement and its future impact
- Shares industry-wide data and best practices from 326 procurement executives
