Talent Management
Effective talent management is a critical business goal for all leading organisations in today's economy. The fast-paced development of purchasing as a crucial lever for competitive advantage has meant that the 'war for procurement talent' is as intense as it has ever been.
The scarcity of skilled executive purchasing talent means that companies must be creative in their approach to attracting, developing and retaining the top people. A recent management article in ELP Magazine suggested: "it is far easier to teach a business manager about procurement than it is to teach a procurement manager about business."
If the profession is to continue to be strategic in the true sense then there is a growing need to recruit those with the essential core competencies and soft skills to enable procurement to operate at an executive level.
