Procurement Says No Ep9 Resolution Revolution

Rich and Ed have their crystal balls at the ready with some predictions for 2024. What's the focus for Procurement this year (er, apart from savings)? Will we become T-shaped commercial people? Is it centralise or decentralise this time around? Are procurement systems really getting better? Will AI finally set fire to the sky, or at least do a decent job of an RFP? We also answer your questions on whether you can be a born negotiator; how to convince others that your saving is real; whether you should go into Procurement as a career (or get out); and which of the Big4 is best. We also have disturbing news about CIPS (trouble at t’mill); yet more stats from CAPs and Cheetah; and a bonkers left-over Christmas rhyme. This is the future. The future is now. Today is yesterday’s tomorrow. You get the picture.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.
