What issues actually shaped procurement and supply chain management in 2026? Which developments will endure, and which were merely short-term trends—and what should companies be preparing for today to ensure success in 2027?
As the year comes to a close, Andreas Pohle, Managing Partner of the amc Group, and Prof. Dr. Florian C. Kleemann take a joint look at the most important developments of the past twelve months and analyze them from two perspectives: practical experience gained from numerous transformation projects, and an academic perspective on current trends and future developments.
The focus is on the topics that were of particular concern to procurement organizations in 2026—ranging from artificial intelligence and digitalization to resilience and supply chains, as well as cost management, organizational structure, and the changing demands on procurement in the future. At the same time, our speakers will offer an informed outlook on the year 2027 and discuss which strategic priorities companies should already be placing on their agendas today.
A special highlight of the webinar is the official launch of the new 2027 Procurement Agenda Study. Following the success of the first edition two years ago, the study is entering a new phase. Together, we will review the key findings from the previous survey, discuss the changes that have taken place in recent years, and present the focus areas of the new edition. At the same time, we cordially invite all participants to actively take part in the study and help shape the future agenda for procurement and supply chain management.
Look forward to a concise one-hour session featuring insightful analyses, engaging discussions, and concrete ideas for the strategic direction of your procurement function. Take this opportunity to join us in assessing the year 2026 and gain valuable guidance on the challenges and opportunities of 2027.
