A couple of weeks ago I had a conversation with a CPO who, not long before, had handed in his resignation having secured a new role at different organisation. Naturally, he was looking forward to the challenge ahead. After discussing how the new role might differ from his current post (less mature, new region, different culture…) talk turned naturally to who his successor might be.

One of the longest-standing complaints from procurement professionals I’ve heard throughout my 20+ year career is: “we don’t get involved early enough.” The complaint certainly has merit. The earlier sourcing professionals can get involved, the more opportunity they have to ensure proper cost control and avoid overreliance of specific suppliers.

It was “reminiscently fun” because his energy, attitude, and undeniable confidence in his company and himself reminded me of, well, me, 30 years ago. Those “were the days” when I was buoyed by my successful development of the first web-based self-learning algorithm (nascent AI) platform to procure MRO parts.

Cars aren’t cheap, and if they don’t work as advertised you’ll pay more later to fix what you might have been able to prevent in the first place.
