Ep 6: 2024 Big Trends in Procurement feat. Andrew Bartolini and Vishal Patel
RELEASED 4/23/2024
While some market research reports capture a snapshot in time, others play a long game, watching priorities shift over a decade or more. Those annual reports can often capture more nuanced trends, providing actionable insight that executives can use to position themselves, their teams, and their companies as leaders in an incredibly competitive marketplace.
In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Philip Ideson is joined by Andrew Bartolini, Founder and Chief Research Officer at Ardent Partners, and Vishal Patel, Vice President of Product Marketing at Ivalua. They share their perspectives on the big trends – and a few predictions – for procurement in 2024.
Andrew and Vishal focus on some of the topics highlighted in the Ardent Partners Big Trends and Predictions report:
- Separating the practical applications of generative AI from the hype
- Why cost savings are back as a top area of focus for Chief Procurement Officers
- The complexity caused by intertwined global trade, deglobalization, and geopolitical tensions
