INVERTO, a BCG company

How we understand work is changing; traditional careers are a thing of the past and the focus is shifting to the question of what work actually means. According to a study conducted by BCG and the Network, the proportion of employees who want to continue with a traditional 9-to-5 job has dropped to 36% and the vast majority want flexibility at work.

“New Work” is therefore more than just a buzzword; it will help to determine which businesses are successful. To a large extent, this also applies to procurement, which is currently having to tackle one crisis after another with incredible dynamism. Our title story looks at how to implement new forms of working relationships, both with suppliers and partners.
