Tales of Dysfunction (a.k.a. “Procurgatory”)
Building off the previous discussion about “purposeful procurement” in the first episode, Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement, Philip Ideson and Kelly Barner of Art of Procurement, and Fine Tune CEO, Rich Ham, are back to take a bold, honest look at the systemic flaws that have all too often shaped procurement’s behaviors and limited their impact.
In this candid conversation, we share and discuss real-world examples about how current incentive structures elevate short-term thinking and less-than-exceptional outcomes, ignoring the huge potential procurement has to generate value.
By tackling uncomfortable truths about dysfunction within the procurement system, Phil, Kelly and Rich explore the topic with thoughtfulness, precision, and the kind of hard-won wisdom that can only come from years of experience in the procurement trenches. Listen in as we ‘interrogate’ procurement’s role in perpetuating flawed approaches and processes, usually to their own detriment. The candid exploration of these flies in the ointment will also serve as a springboard to solutions as Season 1 progresses.
Stay tuned for episode 3, where our guest, Oliver Hurrey, will offer a glimpse of what truly inspiring and purposeful procurement looks like in practice.
