Talent Development in Procurement: Act now!

The requirements for procurement organizations are increasing, and so is the need for training. Digitization entails major changes. To make procurement teams fit for their new tasks, a mix of e-learning, webinars, Face-to-Face training and coaching is recommended.
In modern organizations, procurement professionals work across departments in global teams. Therefore, communication skills, language skills and intercultural know-how are mandatory. Cross-functional global cooperation hardly works in industrial companies without a technical background and excellent process know-how. In addition, digitization makes many administrative tasks superfluous. To make long-term employees fit for a transformation, targeted, systematic personnel development is required.

Digitization makes many activities superfluous

Innovation managers, risk managers, network designers, gatekeepers, controllers – these are just a few of the role profiles that modern procurement organizations need to live up to their claim as value drivers in the company. In order to operate successfully in procurement, new competencies and roles are necessary. Determining these is the basis for modern personnel development. Digitization makes this topic urgent because many procurement jobs will be obsolete.
