A current instructor and partner at TableForce, a negotiating training agency, Mike knows the ins and outs of negotiating with marketing teams to get on the same page when it comes to making big purchasing decisions – and we mean, millions, sometimes billions of dollar

Public Procurement of Innovation: Towards a European Scheme
The need for support of the procurement of innovation by the European Commission is a strongly supported policy option to deliver innovation across the European Union, driven by the demand of public procurement budgets of Member States. The feasibility study shows there is support for such a policy to be launched and that it should have both top-down and bottom-up instruments or modalities to support procurement including actual procurements of innovative goods and services. The above excerpt

Procurement-as-a-Service - Is outsourcing the future?
In traditional models, procurement has always been an internal wing of a company, but with processes becoming ever more complex and the marketplace that much more competitive, could the most cost-effective solution for many businesses be to outsource?

The Sourcing Maturity Model and Indirect Spend
Has many of you already know, my research into the area of managing indirect spend through the development of an Internet platform structured around an agent-based as opposed to equation-based model was funded by the government’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development program back in the late 90s.
The results of that research led to my launch of the Procurement Insights blog in May 2007 as well as numerous articles and white papers including Acres of Diamonds: The Value of Managing Low-Dollar, High Transactional Volume Spend. The Acres paper is now for the first time available to the general public.
Within the context of this past (and present) area of focus, I am very much looking forward to my conversation today with Xchanging’s Kaushik Dasbiswas regarding his company’s latest white paper “Unlocking value from indirect spend through a sourcing maturity model.”Tags: Kaushik Dasbiswas Xchanging Indirect Material spend strategic sourcing procurement

The Future of ISM with Bill Michels
The last time that I interviewed Bill Michels was in March 2012 shortly after his company ADR North America was acquired by the Institute for Supply Management™ (ISM), which is the first supply management institute in the world.
At the time, I saw the ADR acquisition by a for profit arm of ISM as a significant move in that it seemed to be a logical evolution or perhaps merging of complimentary competencies, that very likely represents the new consultancy model that will both define and drive procurement practice for the next 10 to 20 years.
So here we are a year later, and with the 98th Annual ISM conference just around the corner, Bill joins me to talk about the acquisition, the present course and the future of ISM.Tags: Bill Michels ADR International ISM Institute for Supply Management procurement
