Welcome to the Procurement Manifesto!

I've created this blog as a way to share some of my thoughts on the way I feel high performing procurement individuals and organizations should perform.  My views are certainly not radical, but definitely not traditional.  I feel that we need to break from the traditional tactical "necessary evil" perception of procurement and drive a level of performance that is a value creator and competitive advantage for the organization's we support.

I intend over the next several months to both share my thoughts on various aspects of procurement, as well as articles and research I feel reflect my personal opinions on best in class ideas.  I'll also use this space to share presentation and research work I've done in the past.

I welcome all feedback and ideas that will help make this a better blog and help expand my own personal knowledge.
