The predictability of the future is not enough for an advantageous future. With accurate information and resources, what you want to do matters.

You should be informed on a continuous basis to get ahead in business life. In the future, it is predictable that there will be effective technologies and different distribution models, but in reality, there is no crystal ball that provides insights into when these changes will occur.

So, how can you distance yourself from future protection and effectively embracing new trends and delivery models?


 

Be Curious and Look for Innovations in Your Space

The innovations you are looking for can be thought of as new product innovations, transforming the goods or services that businesses sell or having an impact on how people work and how procurement teams buy these innovations. So there are a number of questions that need to be asked:

What are the purchasing results like, instead of the time and materials that will change the products you buy? Does it change access to a product you believe possible? Does an on-demand delivery model change the value you can get from the market?

It is also important to remember past lessons when taking future steps. For example, when discussing options for moving roles and activities to external sources, there are usually two kinds of responses: While one side says, "Nobody gets outside support in my business and they do my job better than me," the other says, "What can I do to make these easier? Because it would be in the company's best interest. It helps the company and the business become more efficient and helps you focus on higher value-added activities for your colleagues." note.

By staying away from outsourcing opportunities and staying away from technology, the present is no different. These innovative deployment models can scare you. You may work to prevent it from influencing you and your role in the business or you may embrace these changes and think about how you can make use of them.

Procurement specialists should look at the development styles of the roles of the teams and use these changes to make the value proposals of the activities identified stronger.

The constant formation can be frightening, but one thing is well known: you will be affected either way. You can understand and adopt external sources, ignore them or become familiar with them.

Be Aware of the Skills and Skills Needed in Purchasing Now

After the modeling for the future you can see which skills will be needed for personal situations or for team work, offering ideas on where to find the focus points for growth and development.

Recently, the focus was on category management and the provision of strategic resources. It was easy to move from one category to another if the fundamentals are well known or you know how to read the market.

Although this is considered a good strategy for the past, the most important point in resource and category management is expertise and market knowledge. Program managers should be able to bring together and there should be a small number of purchasing professionals or managers.

You can develop future expertise in a specific area and sell it to customers from a value-based perspective rather than work hours. Future-oriented activities of the sources of category management expertise are shaped in this framework.
