<divDon\u2019t miss updates on Procurement & Supply Chain, Subscribe here!>I hope that you have enjoyed the article, \u201cProcurement Trends Today, Goals Tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Last week, I delivered a presentation at a conference where I went into depth on the very topics covered in the article \u2013 the current procurement trends that will be future goals.\u00a0 I had an interesting question from an attendee at the very end of my presentation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She asked:\u00a0 \u201cBecause you\u2019ve been in procurement a while, what previous trends have you seen turn into goals?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve obviously seen more than I had time to mention but, reflecting on what procurement looked like in the mid-90\u2019s, here are a few that I squeezed in\u2026<\/div>\n
    \n
  • Reverse auctions as a percentage of sourcing events (this has since gotten less frequently used as people have realized that reverse auctions are only appropriate for a subset of all sourcing opportunities)<\/li>\n
  • Outsourced\/offshored\/global spend as a percentage of total spend<\/li>\n
  • Percentage of compliance with eProcurement system usage<\/li>\n
  • Procurement transactions completed by offshore contractors<\/li>\n
  • GPO use that replaces unmanaged spend<\/li>\n
  • Pcards (which, last year, I predicted would start to see a shift from plastic to digital)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    While looking at these procurement trends that became \u201cthe standards\u201d since the mid-1990\u2019s, I think that the trends brewing today stand to more significantly alter the future of procurement.\u00a0 It will be exciting to see what the procurement goals of tomorrow are!<\/div>\n
