Procure Bites - Monday Insights

Hey there,

This Week's Deep Dive​

I don’t understand the Procurement Iceberg meme.

The one that decries all the value adds stakeholders don’t see with Procurement.

But what if it’s within your gift to change this...?

Instead of complaining about perception, how about you feel empowered to deliver that change instead.

I break down the top three ways you can do this to positively sell Procurement in your organisation with examples:

• Shift your perspective

• Deal with the Procurement vs. Purchasing dichotomy

• Leading with context, not control

And yes, I even tell you about my secret KPI I use for myself and my teams - the Xmas party test.
