Ep 190: Why the Business Needs a Friend in Procurement feat. Joseph Scull


Listen Later

“I’m having an issue with one of my suppliers.” 

That is how many conversations begin between procurement and the business. While a problem has been recognized, and the business knows it needs to be resolved, they can’t risk their day-to-day relationship with that supplier.

Enter their friends in procurement.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Joseph Scull. Joseph has deep experience managing functions like real estate, operations, and procurement - and sometimes all three at once - at the enterprise level.

In this interview, Joseph speaks about:

  • How process, direct contact, and results shape internal perceptions of procurement
  • Using budgets to incentivize decision makers to work with procurement
  • When the business is most likely to seek out procurement’s help, and how procurement can turn that into added value
