Procurement has shifting priorities; Learn what competencies and capabilities are required to become – and stay – best in class.

What’s on the minds of CPOs both shapes, and is shaped by, the state of procurement. One thing is for sure, it’s a changing landscape that reflects the dynamic nature of the business. For twelve years now, Ardent Partners has been engaged in an ongoing conversation with CPOs and procurement leaders around the world.
