According to the responses to the 2019 Deloitte Global Survey, 76% of the 481 CPOs queried (managing over US$5 trillion of spend) rated the effectiveness of their teams as strategic business partners as fair (69%) or poor (6%).

Also, a decreasing number of procurement leaders rated the skills and capabilities of their current teams (49% in 2018; 46% in 2019) as sufficient.

In a recent article, a senior executive lamented “I’ve received over 500 applications over the last week for two jobs I posted. Most of them focus on education and are light on what they’ve done and what benefits they drove.”
