🔍 As digital procurement leaders continue to investigate and implement new technology solutions to augment processes, streamline operations, and ensure visibility into the procurement function, hearing from founders of digital solutions on their perspectives for the future is incredibly valuable.   Lance Younger, ProcureTech CEO, led ORO Labs Co-Founder Lalitha Rajagopalan, HICX CEO Costas Xyloyiannis, and Sievo Co-Founder and CEO Sammeli Sammalkorpi in an energetic panel focused on the founders’ perspective on scaling innovation in digital procurement during the ProcureTech GENERATION: Digital Procurement Summit.   These inspiring leaders shared their insights into not only new advancements in technology and the ongoing impact of Generative AI, but also the need for transparency, honesty, and building trust with corporations to build an environment where collaborative, co-created solutions can be scaled.    With these leaders at their helms, there is no procurement analytic, orchestration solution, or supplier management challenge too great!   #ProcureTech #ProcureTech100 #ProcureTechGENERATION

In an interactive and engaging discussion led by ProcureTech’s Mark Gillett, that featured Stephen Day FCIPS from Kantar, Rory Lamont FCIPS from Siemens, and Karsten Richter from Bayer, participants in last week’s ProcureTech GENERATION: Digital Procurement Summit, focused on Future Digital Capabilities and Teams.   Drawing on decades of transformative procurement leadership experience, these stellar executives shared their own priorities and experiences, with a focus on investigating and implementing new technology, but also a focus on people, people, and people!   Audience members resoundingly agreed with the need for balance and a focus on building the right skills and bringing in the right team members, with a strong emphasis on fostering a growth mind set, and a desire or curiosity to learn and test. In addition, data analytics and data science skills were rated as highly desirable in team members.   Going into 2025, leaders found consensus on the need for user-centric, customer-driven approaches to digital procurement, as well as the need for clear strategies and roadmaps, along with data-driven decision making, and ensuring an intelligent ecosystem of digital and data solutions.   It was an incredible discussion and we can’t thank Mark, Stephen, Rory, and Karsten enough for leading the session and sharing their many valuable insights.   #ProcureTech #ProcureTech100 #ProcureTechGENERATION
