One question, one number
Between March and December 2025, respondents in the Greater Stockholm area were asked a single question and gave a single score. No follow-up questions were asked and no background data was recorded, so the results cannot be broken down by company, industry, seniority or any other dimension.
How the score was collected
- Population
- Mid- to senior-level professionals in Procurement and Supply Chain roles, primarily based in Stockholm.
- Sampling
- Participants came from candidate and client conversations within the Talent Supply network during 2025. Participation was voluntary and anonymous.
- What was collected
- One number per respondent on a 1–10 scale, and nothing else. No company name, role, industry, headcount or free-text comment was recorded.
- Confidentiality
- Because only a single anonymous score was collected, no individual response can be traced back to a person or an organisation.
- Data collection
- Scores were given verbally during direct calls and screening interviews, or through a short form shared after those conversations.
- Period
- The survey ran from March to December 2025 and is not currently being collected. The results below are final for that period.
- Limitations
- The data reflects a subjective self-assessment by individuals. It is not a formal maturity assessment, and it says nothing about which systems, tools or strategies are in place.
How the score was calculated
Monthly results are reported using the median rather than the average, for three reasons.
Resilience to outliers
An average is easily pulled by unusually high or low responses. The median takes the midpoint of the distribution, which keeps the picture balanced.
Perceptions are reflected more accurately
Because the data is subjective and self-reported on a 1–10 scale, the median is the more reliable indicator of perceived readiness.
Stability across smaller samples
In months with fewer responses, the median remains a more consistent measure of overall sentiment.
The median represents the more typical answer in a given month and prevents extreme views from distorting the picture. Since only one number was collected per respondent, the results should be read as a rough directional indicator of sentiment in the Stockholm market during 2025 — nothing more precise than that.
