Procurement 2035: New Skills, New Rules, New Impact

As we look ahead to 2035, Procurement is no longer just about managing costs – it’s about shaping strategy, driving innovation, and leading sustainable transformation.

At this pivotal moment, the rules of the game are changing. AI, digital transformation, and global megatrends are redefining what it means to be a procurement leader. At EIPM, we’ve mapped five bold scenarios for the future – from AI-orchestrated operations to agile squads, ecosystem transformers, analyst-driven models, and category-centric strategies. The future won’t favour a single path – but those who know how to combine the right elements to fit their ambition.

Success will demand new skills, new mindsets, and a bold willingness to challenge the status quo.

Join a powerful gathering of CPOs, procurement executives, thought leaders, and rising talents as we explore what the next decade holds. Through visionary keynotes, real-world case studies, dynamic roundtables, and powerful networking opportunities, we’ll uncover how procurement can make a deeper impact on business, people, and the planet.

 

Discover what it takes to lead procurement into 2035 and beyond.

18 September Webinar – Five scenarios on the future of procurement organisations

  • 18 September 2025
  • 10 -11 am (Paris time)
  • Online
  • Participation is free, registration compulsory

The future of procurement is being reshaped before our eyes. With AI, digital transformation, and global megatrends tranforming supply chains, one question demands our attention: What will the procurement function of tomorrow look like?

At EIPM, we’ve tackled this question head-on, developing five compelling scenarios for the future:

  • Agile Squads, Cross-functional teams driving rapid supplier selection.
  • AI-Orchestrated Procurement,  Automated efficiency, steered by human expertise.
  • Ecosystem Transformers,  Breaking industry silos to co-create value across value chains
  • Analyst-Centred Organisations,  Where data intelligence powers every decision.
  • Category-Centric Models, Deep specialisation meets strategic influence.

But here’s the crucial insight: Tomorrow’s leaders won’t simply pick one—they’ll design the right blend to address their unique challenges and ambitions.

In this session, we’ll unpack each scenario, explore the essential skills and capabilities needed to succeed, and discuss how you can start building a future-fit procurement organisation today.

Join us as we chart the course ahead, because the future belongs to those who prepare for it.

We look forward to seeing you there.
