GRAPH SECTION HIGHLIGHT

WHY ARE GARTNER/PROCURETECH 100’s SUCCESS SCORES HIGHER?

The logic:

  • Traditional frameworks, such as Gartner, score vendors highly based on “market visibility” and “vendor positioning.”
  • This creates inflated success predictions that don’t match reality
  • Hansen’s methodology is more conservative and realistic, staying closer to actual outcomes

Corrected understanding:

  • Gartner: High predictions (80-90%) due to vendor bias → Poor accuracy
  • Hansen: Moderate predictions (65-70%) close to reality → High accuracy
  • Actual: The reality baseline (~60%)

WHAT LANCE YOUNGER SAID IN 2024

The following is a response to my earlier post from ProcureTech 100’s Lance Younger: Which ProcureTech Solution Providers Will Thrive or Struggle in 2025?

Jon – you are asking the wrong questions.

Procurement will not achieve its ambition or potential without digitalisation. For every single company and person that is championing digitalisation either personally or as part of a team I believe that we should all be advocating for and helping them to succeed rather than speculating on their failure.

It is your and our collective responsibility to change the (wrong) narrative and focus on accelerating the positive. Time is short.

WHAT WOULD LANCE YOUNGER SAY IN AUGUST 2025?

Hey Pierre! This looks like a straightforward acqui-hire—ORO clearly saw value in Lance and his team to open doors. The independence of ProcureTech 100 and SOURCE is gone, so that chapter seems to have closed with this move. Our team deleted our profile from the procuretech/SOURCE portal today. – My thoughts on the ORO – ProcureTech 100 News, March 19, 2025
