Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From cost control to value creation: What procurement gets right
Q: How should procurement attract and retain younger people and elevate the profession's profile?
Procurement needs to be presented as a strategic, high-impact career with clear pathways and opportunities to influence business outcomes. This includes engaging with schools and colleges and promoting procurement as a visible, valued profession that offers long-term, meaningful work.
From cost control to value creation: What procurement gets right
Q: Why is leakage in supplier value so common, and how can procurement address it?
Leakage happens when upfront negotiations are strong but lifecycle management is neglected. To fix it, allocate dedicated lifecycle management resources for key vendors, ensure ongoing oversight, and maintain strategic supplier relationships so value is realized throughout the contract term.
From cost control to value creation: What procurement gets right
Q: What has your varied career taught you about our profession and what we need to improve?
The core is stakeholder engagement and being embedded in the business; procurement must be curious, listen, and ask the right questions to understand what each area truly needs, not just what they think they want. It's about shifting from a reactive function to a proactive partner who can forecast needs and shape outcomes.
The Future of Procurement: Transformation, Culture and AI
Q: What are the other key attributes to success?
Having a clear, well-defined issue that needs addressing in the transformation and ensuring it is business relevant.
The Future of Procurement: Transformation, Culture and AI
Q: What makes this transformation to stick?
Culture is the binding element that makes all the changes sticky.
