Listen Later

WE'VE GOT A SLIGHT GLITCH BETWEEN 10:00 - 11:30 MINS OF THE PODCAST. IT WILL COME BACK ON :D 




We had Tom Mills on the World of Procurement Podcast to talk about his views and ideas around what Procurement truly is. At one point in the episode, Tom referred to The Heart of Procurement and I instantly knew that would be the title for this episode.


We cover an incredible amount of conversation pieces as summarised below. 


Show Notes:



  • Introduction into Tom’s career

  • Procurement versus Purchasing, key differences and what Tom loves about Procurement

  • Why Procurement having a seat at the table is the wrong question and the wrong angle to come from

  • The Role of Procurement Pros moving forwards

  • Managing conflict and “office” politics as a Procurement Professional

  • Integrity as a Supply Chain/Procurement Professional
