What happened

Procurementmag reports: ProcureAbility: Are Legacy Systems Blind to Disruption?.

Why it matters

Traditional third-party risk management is breaking down.

Common ground

As supplier complexity grows, cost pressures mount and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, the systems procurement functions have relied on are proving to be unfit for the disruptions of today's landscape.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Black-and-White Fallacy, Glittering Generalities: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
