Procurement Says No Ep22 Alchemie - Pestilence, Plague and Other Predictions.

Your favorite procurement podcast is hosted by Alex Jennings on the Alchemie Network's livestream event.Ed and Rich muse on what we should expect in the world of procurement in 2025, as well as also looking back at what we said this time last year.   Were we right about near shoring, the continuing focus on risk and cost reduction, the slow march of AI, procurement tech continuing to lag, and a lack of available talent beginning to hit recruitment??? And what are our predictions for 2025 – more AI, more tech, more risk, war, flood, famine, recession and tariffs - and that’s just the positive stuff. What would Nostradamus think??   Perhaps, a new mysterious leader will come from the sea and form an aquatic empire. Oh, and a massive asteroid is going to come close to hitting the Earth.  Yep.We also talk about ProcureCon, PSN merch and some amazing thought leadership coming soon.And you can even see video of us recording this one on the Alchemie Network - join up, it's as cheap as crisps...https://www.alchemienetwork.com/spaces/13204286/contentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.
