ProcureCon Total Talent 2027 Blog

While building the 2027 agenda, we held research calls with leaders running some of the most mature contingent workforce programmes we know. One point was conveyed: the room is mixed in terms of maturity, and both groups want the same thing. Content that meets them where they are, so that’s how we’ve built it.

A job title tells you what a vacancy is called. It doesn’t tell you what the business actually needs done. Nor will it tell you whether the way you’re buying it will still be compliant next year.

Once you can see your workforce, what do you actually do with it? A senior workforce procurement leader put that to us on a research call and it resonated.

This blog explores how AI and digitalisation are reshaping the procurement landscape, presenting both significant opportunities and challenges. On one side, AI-powered tools can automate tasks, optimise supplier relationships, and enhance decision-making with data-driven insights.

On the other, these technologies require substantial investments, effective change management, and strong data security measures.

In this blog, we dive into the challenges procurement faces in attracting talented women, despite its vital role and commitment to diversity.

We explore how rebranding the industry and challenging outdated stereotypes can make procurement a more appealing and inclusive career path.

We also discuss the power of diverse perspectives in driving innovation and the importance of mentorship and networking in supporting the next generation of women leaders in procurement.
