This time last week, alongside partners Angharad Kenward, Ross Peckham-Cooper and Hayley Hockham hockham from the brilliant Zero9 , I had the pleasure of delivering a talk on Procurement’s Role in the Future Contingent Workforce - a topic that’s increasingly coming into the fore for procurement leaders. I'd like to share some key takeaways from the session: 🗣 1️⃣ 80% of global firms are now using contractors, leveraging flexible workforces as a lever to drive impact 2️⃣ Procurement mindsets are shifting towards task-based environments, moving away from headcount to maintain a competitive advantage 3️⃣ Compliance ("not to mention IR35!") and global regulatory requirements are still putting time and resource pressures on procurement teams, in processes where human-led tech could be enabled 4️⃣ Gen AI is providing opportunities for enhancing workforce capabilities and efficiency, with leaders keen to see more real-life use cases 5️⃣ Demand for talent, pace and energy is high, but organisations are still fighting against painful processes to get there, often within MSPs and RPOs All these trends point to an increased need for an effective contingent workforce management programme that can better connect skills with demand, whilst maximising value and operational efficiency. To discuss more on these trends and challenges, or to understand how you can optimise your current contingent workforce programme, please do reach out.  James Orpin Runar Reistrup #YunoJuno #Zero9Talent #Procurement #ContingentWorkforceManagement #TheFutureofWorkIsFreelance

I shared my thoughts on the future of freelancing with the illustrious Jon Younger PhD for a recent Forbes article: Access to freelance talent must be fast, easy, and reliable for businesses that rely heavily on freelancers and companies are starting to recognise the critical role of technology in their contingent workforce strategy. Equally important, modern freelance management technology is key for meeting the expectations of your top freelancers who will choose their clients carefully based on what infrastructure companies have to support them. Finally, modern freelance management technology provides clients with visibility, and control over their freelance workforce, and enables rapid deployment of skills across all parts of the organisation.
