This in-depth report from APQC, Identifying and Developing the Future Skills Needed in Sourcing and Procurement: Evolving Landscape Requires Revamped Talent Development, addresses the critical gaps in future-proofing procurement professionals.
This global research identifies the skills future procurement professionals need by category (e.g., job-specific, general business, social, and deep work skills), explores the top 10 skills in-depth, and provides guidance for how organizations can close the gaps.
APQC conducted this research with the University of Tennessee and subject matter experts Kate Vitasek, Bonnie Keith, and Emmanuel
