Each year, Business Talent Group releases the High-End Independent Talent Report, looking across industries and business functions to analyze how business leaders deploy top independent talent to fill critical skill, expertise, and leadership gaps. Here are the key procurement trends for 2023.
Inventory management and sustainability are hot topics for procurement leaders in 2023. Advanced analytics and next-generation technologies enable better decision-making and provide a more complete and real-time picture of the supply chain, but companies can benefit from the expertise of highly skilled on-demand talent to tackle these critical implementations—as well as other top initiatives throughout the organization.
