In Focus: The AI revolution

The rules that govern procurement and supply are being rewritten. Prompt engineering is a key skill for many entry-level roles, with many organisations now relying on agents to be the way they talk to the outside world and manage contracts. The only certainty is that the future will belong to those with the skills to adapt. That's why we’ve brought together the resources you need to stay ahead.
