456: Navigating the Digital Procurement Ecosystem w/ Dr. Ferhat Eryurt and Lukas Wawrla

Procurement is in the midst of a period of significant change - driven in large part by an exploding ecosystem of digital solutions. With these new options comes new expectations, specifically the need to provide a consumer-like buying experience for all categories.

For instance, the way that procurement buys technology is changing - from a one-size-fits-all model, to one where care is taken to architect a tech stack that can meet the needs of the business.

In this episode, host Philip Ideson welcomes two guests: Dr. Ferhat Eryurt, a Partner at ap-solut Group, and Lukas Wawrla, Co-founder and Managing Director at Archlet. They took the opportunity to discuss:

• Where procurement is on the digitization journey today
• How procurement should manage the many options presented by combining platforms and best-of-breed solutions
• Whether procurement is giving enough weight to the stakeholder experience when building out a technology ecosystem
