Ep. 390 w/ Christian Lanng CEO & Co-founder of Tradeshift Network

Hi there everyone, and welcome to this week’s Art of Procurement interview, powered by SIG. My guest today is Christian Lanng, the co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Tradeshift. I’m really happy to welcome Christian back to the show. He first joined me in August of 2016, all the way back in episode 80! It was one of my most enjoyable interviews because Christian has strong views on the future of procurement, and the intersection of technology and supply chains. In today’s conversation, I wanted to follow up to see what, in his mind, has changed since we last spoke – is technology evolving as fast as predicted? How does Christian see organizations starting to adapt? I was also interested to learn how Tradeshift determines which ‘future technologies’ to invest in, and why they recently became members of the Hyperledger project, a global, open source collaborative effort created to advance cross-industry blockchain technologies.

20VC: How To Raise $200m In Any Economic Climate, Scale From Garage To Global In Record Time & The Biggest Startup You Have Not Heard About with Christian Lanng, Founder & CEO @ Tradeshift

As the Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Tradeshift, Christian Lanng is on the front lines of the technology evolution, and he gets to see first-hand the impact that innovative technology is having – and will have - on the enterprise. In today’s Art of Procurement podcast, I sit down with Christian to understand what this will mean for procurement. If Christian’s vision materializes, it will mean a seismic shift is in store for our profession over the next 10 years. In this episode, you will learn:  Why the measure of procurement’s success will become the cost to change suppliers, not the cost savings achieved from your existing suppliers. Why we will stop buying products and services, and start buying outcomes. How we will need to think more like a data scientist, analyzing new and expanding sources of information to determine the projects and transactions that matter, and that require human interaction. How organizations will transition from current delivery models to accessing procurement talent on-demand, using talent marketplaces. Why Christian believes that procurement leaders can turn their retained staff into a profit center by selling that expertize to non-competitors. The benefits of a platform &amp; applications approach when building your procurement technology infrastructure. Why we are already in the "summer" of bots, and why AI will be the technology that has the biggest impact on procurement. Why the procurement professional of the future will need to be "problem solvers" and "opportunists".  For more information, visit: http://artofprocurement.com/tradeshift
