Abstract

In this research we take a pragmatic forward looking approach on the changing requirements for PSM and seek to determine what are the development priorities in terms of procurement (1) competencies, (2) technologies and (3) roles by 2030. We facilitated an industry initiated a Delphi study during the summer and early autumn of 2021 in Finland, in which we engaged 33 subject matter experts (procurement managers and CPOs) in a three-step World café event on a virtual collaboration platform. With several interesting observations in each of the three dimension, we identify five major cross-cutting themes that will characterize the future of procurement by 2030. The themes are as follows: (1) the leveraging of data and knowledge, (2) achieving the next level in terms of risk management, (3) taking a user-driven approach to digitalization, (4) enabling sustainability with resources and technology, and (5) securing ability to innovate and change with adequate resources.
