Your Reputation...One Day at a Time
It used to be that a small team of people were responsible for the organization's reputation management efforts/activities. OMG those days are gone and they're never coming back. Today reputation management is a 24x7 job that is the responsibility of everyone on the team. Sure management sets the tone/direction but someone (even outside the organization who doesn't know squat) can bruise/tarnish the organization's reputation with inuendos, half-truths or lies. If you think the current wave of cyberbullies is a passing fad, think again. Those types of people are here to stay. All you can do is focus on doing your best.

What’s In A Name? Everything! (Canadian Institute for Procurement and Materiel Management Profile)
Moving out of the shadows of adjunct functionality within the modern enterprise to a position of operational prominence and relevancy, at no other time has purchasing been viewed in the light of its own merits and overall impact on the individual organization and society as a whole.

Procurement considerations when dealing with a merger? (A PI Q&A)
Network Member Question Aside from the basics of spend analysis and eliminating redundancy, I’m curious to hear of other’s experiences in dealing with merger/acquisitions and how the cultural elements were addressed in terms of promoting the use of preferred vendors and the adoption of expense management policy. What are some best practices to promote optimal adoption of the governing policies and procedures in the absence of spend management technology?

Public Relation’s Bad PR
Public relations has bad PR. It is known for its fluff and hype, for the sleight-of-hand work, and, whereas, all of that exists, the glitter and flash isn't what makes for an effective campaign. What makes media placement effective is that it tells a story, it educates, it gives the public information on a particular topic or field that they otherwise wouldn't have access to.
Vendor/consultant fees: Value for money?
IN MY RECENT TRAVELS presenting the Changing Face of Procurement conference series, a number of interesting trends began to emerge based on the feedback from the majority of those in attendance. Beside a growing cynicism in the "reports" that are published by organizations such as Aberdeen or Gartner, the most prevalent belief is that the cost for initiatives such as the recent $24 million spent in just 9 months by the federal government on AT Kearney are largely based on supporting the vendor's (or consultant's) sizeable infrastructure. In short, the costs are not a true reflection of the service, application or results vendors are providing. With a 75 to 85 percent rate of e-procurement initiative failure, it is hard to argue this point.
Public Sector Procurement and the Wal-Mart Effect
In Part 4 of my Changing Face of Procurement conference series titled Winning Strategies for Vendor Engagement I ask attendees the question; “is your current e-procurement initiative a threat or a benefit to your supply base?” While the answer is of course important, what is of greater significance is whether or not your organization has even considered the impact its current strategy is having on these important external stakeholders.

Recent ISM, CAPS and Kearney Report Perpetuates Dangerous Supply Chain Myths
While generally interesting, the recent 10 Page Report by ISM, CAPS and Kearney perpetuate a number of the myths that actually fuel the high rate of e-procurement initiative failures. Focusing on what is referred to as the “seven critical supply strategies” for Succeeding in a Dynamic World, I will address each “strategy” over the next seven day period referencing the results of our 15 years (and counting) of research findings and front line experiences.
