This week's Friday Show is a little different. A recurring theme in my discussions with procurement thought leaders is the need to expand the value that we bring to being more than cost savings alone. With that in mind, I started working with Joanna Martinez (former CPO and Founder of Supply Chain Advisors) and Jordan Early (Head of Research at Old Street Labs) on a series of shows dedicated to the concept of value based procurement.

Joanna, Jordan and I met earlier this week to start mapping out the series. I loved the points being raised so much that I asked Joanna and Jordan if I could hit the record button. What follows is a short conversation on what value based procurement is, and why it is so important to our future.
