\\u201cWe're trying to get value for money, but we still use the word savings. We've got to change our language accordingly to sell procurement.\\u201d

Welcome to a very special episode of Talent Talks, recorded live at last month\\u2019s Talent Talks event in central London! We were lucky enough to bring together a panel of wonderful procurement professionals to discuss some of the burning issues facing the industry today, with questions from a live audience.

Visa\\u2019s Sarah-Jayne Aldridge, DS Smith\\u2019s Alex Jennings, and 4C Associates\\u2019 Jeremy Smith shared their collective wealth of experiences as we touched on where hybrid working promises to evolve how we collaborate, creating opportunities that satisfy the demands of procurement\\u2019s upcoming candidates, and how we can promote supply chain stories so that they\\u2019re heard by the wider business world.

This episode of Talent Talks covers:

• The types of skillset needed in modern procurement professionals
• Guiding a move towards return on investment over pure cost-saving
• Satisfying the demands of procurement\\u2019s next generation
• How hybrid work promises to change how our industry operates
• Unapologetically keeping our seat at the C-suite table
