Show notes

In the episode this week, I want to talk a little bit about the idea of stepping back and challenging things that we do every day, or the things that have become "generally accepted procurement thinking". I won't be seeking to suggest we are doing things wrong, or that things need to be fixed. No, my intent is to help us all, collectively, get our creative juices flowing! I kick things off by challenging three of our commonly held beliefs and strategies: supplier consolidation, high spend equals high importance, and that our stakeholders have seek to avoid, rather than collaborate, with procurement.
