Time to Lead: insights from the CIPS Global State of Procurement & Supply 2026

How is procurement evolving at a time of accelerating risk, rising expectations, and profound technological change? What does it take to lead when the C‑suite is finally listening? And how can procurement teams turn insight into impact in an era of AI, ESG accountability and global volatility?

In this webinar, we unveiled the findings of the CIPS Global State of Procurement & Supply 2026 report, supported by GEP.

Watch back on-demand to see our panellists decode the data, explore emerging trends with leading procurement thinkers, and answer your questions. 

The agenda included many critical procurement and supply chain considerations, including: 

  • How do procurement and supply chain teams turn AI insights into meaningful action?
  • Where should ESG leadership lie, and why is procurement increasingly taking ownership?
  • Which skills do procurement leaders need to be future‑ready?
  • If centre‑led procurement is now the dominant model, what does that mean for influence?
