About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.” The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector.
Comfort Zones
“You are either learning or dying” the saying goes. We meet some remarkable people in life. People in their 20’s and 30’s who are confident in who they are. People in their 40’s and 50’s who are alive with passion and commitment. People in their 60’s,70’s and 80’s who are fascinated, open and learning.

Is having a website a requirement in the RFQ RFP process today
Member Question: I have a question, for those actively participating in the RFQ & RFP process today. We had a client request we put up one page of his newly developed site, even though it was in the production phase and not close to finalization. He requested we upload one page, disconnect the links, and post. In further discussion he explained, having a website was part of a RFQ submission requirement. Both concerned are privately held corporations and both in the US. Has this become a standard requirement in the RFQ/RFPprocess? If so, in what cases and industries is it required? My Response: The statement that “having a website was part of RFQ submission requirement,” demonstrates that the “myths” surrounding discredited supply chain practices continue to persist.

Public Sector Pensions: Why “Fixing the Problem” IS the Problem
Dramatic increases in public sector pension liabilities at a time when state and local governments have seen their revenues shrink drastically have resulted in an explosive backlash against public sector unions and the workers they represent.
100 Days of Sodom
Public Works Minister Thoka Didiza is considering importing an Indian employment model that will guarantee every household the right to 100 days of paid work per year. Didiza, as a representative of the state, is promising people the right to a job based on the premise that not having a job is sufficient reason to get one.
7.4.1 Governance and organisation
Once again, little or no systematic research has been undertaken on the governance and organisational arrangements of national training systems in developing countries. In particular, little is known about recent attempts that have been made to improve the level of representation and thus the power and influence of the poor in governance structures and with what results. Similarly, virtually nothing is known about specific organisational changes that have been made in an attempt to ensure that the special training needs of the poor are adequately catered for.

4.5 Improving the performance of public services and formal sector enterprises: Working Out of Poverty
In many developing countries, pay and conditions in the public services have deteriorated badly over the long years of austerity associated with structural adjustment and the debt crises. This has seriously damaged morale and performance, led to the loss of some of the most talented public servants to the private sector, increased the risk of public servants resorting to “charging” citizens for services by demanding under-the-counter payments, and weakened confidence in the function of government.
3.1.2 Training for the formal sector: Training priorities, resources and reorientation
Despite oft-repeated government pronouncements about the need for concerted efforts to improve the skills of the poor, responding to formal sector training needs has remained the top priority for most public sector training institutions during the 1990s.
7.5.4 The role of public sector training institutions: Institutional design and capacity building
Many believe that public sector training institutions are intrinsically unable to support the training needs of the poor and disadvantaged and that, for this reason, primary reliance should be placed on NGOs and other private sector training institutions.

The Bands of Public Sector Supplier Engagement
“To really leverage vendor partnerships, solution providers need an in. For the public sector, that entre has to go beyond the program to the individual behind it who understands the market nuances and challenges that can hold partners back.” From the article 25 Public-Sector Channel Leaders (ChannelWeb Network, March 19, 2007) In one simple statement within the confines of a single article there has never been a better or more succinct explanation of what plagues public sector procurement practice today. Especially in the area of supplier development and engagement!

MERX: An Evolution to a Broader Market (MERX Profile)
MERX: An Evolution to a Broader Market (MERX Profile) “Regardless of the moniker, the majority of government initiative elemental roots can be traced back to the New Public Management (NPM) ideology in which efficiency, accountability, decentralisation and marketisation are the main components or drivers (J.E. Lane, Public Sector Reform: Only deregulation, privatization and marketisation, Public Sector Reform, 1997).

A Revenue Positive Business Model in Public Sector Purchasing (Part 1)
The core “philosophy” behind the New Public Management or “NPM” concept (which has been part of the government lexicon since the 1980s), is the belief that a “market orientation in the public sector will lead to greater cost-efficiency for governments, without having negative side effects on other objectives and considerations.” While there may be merit in the NPM vision, in reality its practical implementation has for the most part been sidetracked into an imitate versus innovate approach. Specifically, the philosophy has been reduced to one of using the same technological platforms and methodologies in the public sector as the ones used in the private sector.
