The Way We Source - Procurement Says No Ep33

Rich and Ed star on episode 56 of internationally renowned podcast "The Way We Source" - hosted by Sam Jenks and sponsored (them, not us) by Kodiac Hub - your end-to-end Supplier Relationship Management platform for strategic, sustainable and smart procurement blah, blah.We answer the important questions:  Why does procurement say no?  Why do procurement people sometimes take themselves tooooo seriously?  Are we aligning or hindering? And some stuff about AI.   And we talk about agile for procurement (or lean or continuous improvement); how easy it is to repatriate off-shore manufacturing (including some non-fact-checked spurious data); our 5 point plan for dealing with tariffs; the call to action for procurement folk ("go out and do something") and whether indeed, history will teach us anything at all.It's also got the fabulous "TWWS" theme tune as an added bonus.   It's lovely and someone else did all the work.  So that's super.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/procurement-says-no--5886102/support.
