014 - Learn How Google's Strategic Sourcing Team Became a Trusted Business Partner, with Tim Jones

From the start of Art of Procurement, I have planned on recording a series of "how-to" or case studies that highlight the steps that leading companies are taking to tackle their most difficult procurement challenges. I'm excited to share with you the first in this "how-to" series. Today's guest is Tim Jones, the Head of Sourcing at Google. Google Procurement have been on a journey to become a trusted advisor supporting the key strategic stakeholders that represent the most strategic supplier spend and initiatives rather than an RFP show. In today's show, Tim will share Google's journey to date, along with what I think are some really interesting approaches to drive stakeholder engagement.
