Hi Member,
As we approach the end of 2025, I find myself reflecting on how profoundly this year has changed procurement, and how quietly that transformation has occurred.
2025 was the year AI moved from boardroom buzzword to daily reality. It’s everywhere now. And yet, most of us still hold the same job titles and roles we had in January.
The question is: If AI is handling more of the technical heavy lifting, are our teams prepared for what comes next?
2026 will be about who has the strongest human capabilities to do what AI can’t: soft skills will increasingly become the hard differentiators. This is why we’ve written this piece on procurement skills gaps for 2026.
If you’re wondering where your team stands, I’d welcome the chance to talk it through with you.
And for a limited time before year-end, we’re offering a $500 voucher when you assess five or more team members. But honestly, the value isn’t in the discount; it’s in the diagnostic clarity you’ll gain about where to focus your 2026 development investment.
Schedule 30 minutes in my calendar if this resonates and you’d like to explore what a skills assessment might reveal for your team.
Best regards,
