Show Notes

“In general when you're buying services, it won't have such a complex supply chain. But in terms of what you're buying, it's infinitely more complex.”

Pinpointing the value of procured services on more metrics than pure cost is an issue worth solving, given the trillions in annual global spend that go towards services procurement.

Zivio are leading the way with their SaaS platform - their CEO Jonny Dunning is our guest on Talent Talks this week discussing how technology is altering the procurement landscape.

We dive into digitisation attracting talent, automation allowing higher level strategies to be employed, why data is power, and much more.

This episode of Talent Talks covers:

  • Trends in perception of procurement, currently seen as a relatively young function
  • Growing sophistication in the design of procurement roles
  • The talent shortage, and how candidates recognise digitisation regardless of category
  • Consistent demand for automation, visibility and control
  • The evolving landscape of procurement, with its increasing focus on data
