The Best Bites

It’s the last day to complete my survey. This takes 2mins I promise, and will help to inform my content for the next year.

This is your community, so I want to build it for you.

I read every comment and will share the results here next week.

In other news, if I spammed you with two e-mails from here on Wednesday, I apologise :-)

I created my first podcast on here and was trialling it. This will become a feature of my content on here moving forward as I want to create more a more intimate community.

I also know many of you are able to listen on the go, more than you have time to read.

The newsletters will always be the main stay of this community, but I’m adding podcasts as a feature here too.

The Best Bites

1. I’m loving this free e-book from Marc Kloepfel. It helpfully answers all of the questions on ESC for Procurement professionals. I don’t think there’s a better guide out there. Download your copy here

I should add, I met Marc last week and we had a great chat on all things Procurement. I’ll be releasing a link to that podcast here very soon.

1. I’ve been a fan of for some time but his newsletter this week ‘Make Work Better’ really packed a punch when it comes to the costs / benefits analysis of home/ hybrid/ office working.

As Head of Properties **yes I do that as well as my Procurement job/ I sometimes sleep!** I’ve been having that debate with my business and as with all things in life, I like to ‘win the argument’ with facts.

Here’s some killer stats to consider:

Make sure you read the full article here, it’s a killer!

1. Another recommend is with an incredibly helpful article Mastering the Cloud Negotiation Playbook

The breakdown of how to manage Cloud vs On Prem Negotiations as a Procurement Manager is the best I’ve seen anywhere. I’ve bookmarked this, so should you.

Have a great weekend, switch off from Procurement for a while.

Parkrun or something else.

I’ll see all my VIP paid subscribers back on Monday with my next deep insights article to help you get 1% better at Procurement every week.
