Build a procurement platform aka End of Alchemie - Procurement Says No Ep40

from Procurement Says No · host Richard Beattie & Edward Cross

Rich and Ed welcome Alex Jennings from the Alchemie Network to explain what went right and what went wrong with the world's best procurement ex-online network; including the weather (how very British); the history of Alex; Alchemie's inspiration (mainly boredom) and principles; "THE ALGORITHM"; and whether subscription models will save the world.We've also got a tonne of news including "Enshittification"; Tonkean's view of AI growth; AI's role in procurement and its lack of prioritisation; EU defence spending; Jacobs buys PA Consulting to improve biscuit management; and bourbon (not biscuits) sales and knickers down in the US in a race to the bottom. And lots of mentions of Grok and our now abandoned Naked Procurement group.So many insights into the crazy world of procurement, you will learn sooooo much - so it'd be quite silly to miss this one.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.
