New Blogs:
Dejana Dosen, Next Level Purchasing Association, 10/10/18
MRO is an often overlooked category of spend. However, transactions that may seem unimportant and minute can add up to a create a category with an underestimated impact upon profitability. Dejana Dosen discusses how to manage MRO more effectively and how much impact doing so can have upon the bottom line.
Jennifer Ulrich, Buyer's Meeting Point, 10/11/18
Jen Ulrich describes “Broken Window Theory” defined in the Atlantic as it pertains to procurement rather than crime. The dangers in complacency and laziness are incredibly apparent in all procurement processes. Skipping that one step in analysis once or twice sends a message to the rest of the company that it really is not that important. Proper procedure begins to slip from there. Inversely, going for a period with no missed dates leads by example and will to many show the significance of the processes in place.
New Podcast:
Programmatic buying is an exciting and fresh take on procurement especially within media buying. It may seem like an auto-pilot or easy mode alternative to traditional manual methods, but it sadly is not that simple. The podcast asserts the value of programmatic buying tools but also that contracting media buyers, though less needed, still has some uses that no algorithm can accurately tackle at this time.
