Pierre Mitchell was the first supply chain practitioner to become a procurement "industry analyst" with roles at AMR Research (now Gartner) followed by The Hackett Group, and now Spend Matters. There are few people, if any, that cover procurement than understand, and have such passion for, the growth of our profession. Both Pierre and I were together last week at the ISM Inside Indirect Conference 2016 in Las Vegas, and so we picked up the mic's and hit record! So, today's show is an informal chat covering a range of topics. Areas we cover include: What challenges in procurement is Pierre motivated to try and help solve? Has procurement evolved over 2016 or as we still in the same position, with the same challenges and questions, as we were 12 months ago? How can we differentiate marketing hype with reality when it comes to potentially game changing technologies? What is the most overused and most underused procurement KPI?
