The Procurement function is at an inflection point. Artificial Intelligence, systemic crises, and climate emergencies: these three disruptions are profoundly redefining the competencies required to drive performance and business resilience.

It is no longer possible to copy and paste Procurement strategies and competencies from the past for the future.

Drawing on the latest research and real-world practices, Dr. Natacha Tréhan explores the impact of these three major upheavals and addresses key questions:

• Artificial Intelligence: Are Generative AI and AI agents signaling the end of the Procurement profession?? Are we heading for the demise of “category management”?
• Systemic Shocks: Why must buyers think in "Double Loop " in the age of discontinuity? What competencies are needed to protect and transform the company in a world of permacrisis
• Sustainable Transitions: Why is the hybridization of knowledge critical to successful environmental and social transitions?

Through a strategic lens, Dr. Natacha Tréhan presents 17 key Procurement competencies to master by 2030.
