A VP Procurement at one of the worlds leading energy technology company told me something that stuck: “We shifted from cost out, cost out, cost out — to security of supply, supply chain resilience, and total cost of ownership.” That’s the new reality for European procurement. 1. Security of supply — know your suppliers beyond tier-1 and their capability to deliver 2. Supply chain resilience — redundant where failure is expensive 3. Total cost of ownership — not purely focus on unit price alone, but what it really costs when things go wrong European manufacturing isn’t recovering. It’s restructuring. And the procurement playbook is changing with it. P.S. We built MakerVerse for exactly this environment. Free to try: https://lnkd.in/eFaBaYVR
