Supply Management Professionals: Develop Your Brand 

Brands matter. At a superficial level, brands more often than not, guide our purchasing behavior. Brands invoke a sense of trust and connection in the product, person, or company they represent. But, what exactly does branding mean to procurement professionals? The answer is two-fold. First, branding is important to procurement professionals as individuals. Your brand is how your team, peers, and managers view you. Second, the concept of branding also applies to your procurement organization as a whole. How your organization represents itself is crucial to the perceptions of your stakeholders, external partners, and the C-suite. This week, Kaitlyn Krigbaum of MRA Global Sourcing, a Source One partner, expands on the concept of branding and how you can leverage branding to enhance your career and better position your procurement department to key stakeholders in your company.
