In Episode 1 and Episode 2 of The Next-Gen Procurement Podcast, we laid the foundation for where procurement is headed. From the rise of procurement orchestration to the evolving role of the Chief Procurement Officer, we explored how the function is shifting from back-office operations to front-line strategy.
Now we turn to the human side of that evolution. As procurement steps into a more strategic role, soft skills like influence, collaboration, and emotional intelligence are becoming just as critical as technical know-how.
In Episode 3, we’ll explore the soft skills that will define procurement’s future. Emotional intelligence. Stakeholder influence. Supplier collaboration. Internal politics. These are the capabilities that separate good practitioners from great leaders.
Join us live on August 6 at 12PM EST for a timely conversation on the soft skills behind high-impact procurement.
RSVP here and we’ll see you there!
