Fire burn, and caldron bubble. -Macbeth -- the Three Witches
And so begins this blog. On a regular basis I will be posting the necessary incantantions, ingredients, and spells that one can wield to be successful in your Procurement and Supply Chain.
So are those in Procurement and Supply Chain wizards or pretenders?
In my view the level of training, knowledge and understanding to be a success in achieving value for your organization through Procurement and Supply Chain is often underestimated. Of course we don't need eye of newt and incense to effect a significant bottom-line impact to the corporation (of course it would help). What is required is extensive insight into the machinations of the business, cooperation with all entitities to a common goal and a high level of professionalism, training, education and experience do go a long way toward success.
There are millions of dollars floating around corporations today. And it is the Sourcerers and their Apprentices who will enable you to find them.
Or perhaps you want to become a Sourcerer yourself?
Well, keep reading this blog and over time you will gleen some insight into the magic of the Sourcerer.
Well, isn't that how the area is often looked upon? It seems to have this magical aura according to the rest of the organization, as if we are a secret society that only after an initiation ritual do you gain membership. Or the opposite is true -- others believe that they can conjure up the best deal because they don't believe in the extensive knowledge that is required to be successful in this area.
