January 16-20: 2023 Procurement Trends, Predictions, and Outlook

In this week’s webinars, ‘outlook season’ continues. Everyone has a perspective to share on what they think the coming year will bring. Personally, I find this quite endearing – especially given all of the disruption and uncertainty of the last three years. Human hope for predictability springs eternal! 

If you are planning your procurement event schedule beyond this week, I have another set of predictions to offer you: Forecasting the Future: Executive Predictions for 2023. Join Rujul Zaparde, Founder and CEO of Zip, and Colin Glazier, VP of Solutions Consulting at Zip, as they take the virtual stage with Philip Ideson for the first AOP Live of 2023!

And now for this week’s recommendations…
