Join Ardent Partners and Esker on April 29th (2 PM ET) as they discuss CPO Rising 2025: Navigating Global Uncertainty & Unlocking an AI-Driven Future.
Over the past two decades, procurement has undergone a dramatic transformation, evolving from a tactical, cost-cutting function into a strategic powerhouse that enables business resilience, drives savings and innovation, and helps build competitive advantage. The CPO’s journey has been marked by financial crises, a global pandemic that created far-reaching supply chain disruptions, geopolitical instability, and rapid digitalization. Through it all, procurement has remained at the forefront—navigating complexity, mitigating risk, and delivering measurable value.
This year, Ardent Partners analysts are authoring their 20th annual State of Procurement report at what could be the beginning of a fundamentally new world era. Yet, CPOs are steadfast, standing at the helm of a major hub of business intelligence and business results, guiding their teams through uncertainty while shaping the future of procurement and the global supply chain.
In 2025, businesses are navigating a storm that is far from perfect, built upon an uncertain foundation of economic, business, and trade uncertainty including persistent inflation, supply chain fragility, and escalating geopolitical conflicts — all set against the backdrop of rapid technological disruption and shifting global trade dynamics. At the same time, a technological revolution is unfolding. Intelligent, AI-driven procurement is becoming a reality — offering the promise of higher levels of efficiency, intelligence, and agility.
