Procurement Says No

Rich and Ed are back, albeit a little belatedly, with the No1 Management Podcast in Nicaragua. This time we've got news from the Apple Podcast charts which will stun and amaze; the CIPS awards (best haircut, nicest coat); why you should never ignore procurement strategy and why procurement teams aren't achieving supply chain nirvana. We've also got a post bag full of, wait for it, 5 questions from listeners around the world ("Is it ever right to punch a stakeholder?"). And extra special guest star Kate Hill talks to us about all things social value - what is it, how do you measure it, why should you care..? Plus the usual japes and stupidity in an altogether lovely podcast. There's so much in it we've broken our own rule of "never, ever over 30 minutes"...again. Enjoy it, it's still as cheap as crisps.

Procurement Says No Episode 4 is our magnum opus – an extended concept album of procurement nonsense. We discuss tools and techniques in procurement, Ed turns his back on the procurement community; and we talk about Kraljic, Van Wheel, and even come up with a sixth force (or sic forth) for Michael Porter. We’re also talking about negotiation – some good ones and mostly bad ones. And providing advice on how to avoid your lies being spotted. Fly lie, fly. We even invent some new acronyms along the way (IN2P, TSMA), and discover that procurement won WW2. All this knowledge, all this drivel, in a specially elongated 40 minute podcast which is still as cheap as crisps.
