The fourth iteration of the trends report is a one-stop knowledge destination for procurement professionals and covers very procurement-specific topics and issues, as well as wider business trends and market predictions.

It contains a wealth of Procurement Leaders research, interviews with thought leaders and secondary research.

Part two of the trend report provides an overview of wider economic developments, stories that will impact business, as well as a commodity price forecast covering the most frequently bought commodities in the Procurement Leaders community. It overviews some of the disruptors that may have an impact in the coming year, including political risks, market volatility and some of technological developments that are reshaping business.

Part one of our two-part 2017 trend research features procurement-specific trends and activities we predict for 2017, ranging from CPO intentions, talent management, procurement technology developments and category intelligence.

We invite you to take the report into meetings, share it with your peers, and repurpose any information you find interesting.
