Three procurement calls stay on my desk: who joins the vendor roster, which contract terms bend, how we handle a critical delivery failure. Everything else, my team owns. Which call would you never hand off? #Procurement

Spend analytics becomes more meaningful when service data is consistently structured and classified. Reliable service master data helps organizations see purchasing patterns more clearly and identify opportunities for better spend management.

Procurement performance depends partly on the quality of the information behind every purchase. Standardized materials, consistent classifications and trusted supplier-related data can create greater visibility across the procurement process.

What does someone need to know about you to feel comfortable taking the next small step? Sometimes, that next step is simply a conversation. My latest Twins Talk explores why. bit.ly/4yck1Yc #sales #procurement #socialselling

A demo proves an #AI agent can complete a task, but it doesn’t prove reliability, safe edge behavior, or effective controls. #Procurement should demand evidence before autonomy claims. #AgenticAI

Good points about #AI in #procurement. The function has a lack of imagination and mostly only looks at more automation when there is more accessible.

How much do you need to know about someone before you're willing to have a conversation? @SuperstarHelen explores how small interactions accumulate into trust. bit.ly/4yck1Yc #sales #procurement #socialselling

Fewer than 50% of CPOs feel confident monitoring #agenticAI, yet most are already piloting it. The fix isn't an on/off switch. Classify agents by autonomy level, from read-and-summarize to plan-and-act, and match oversight to each. #AIGovernance #procurement #ai #procuretech

Tying up $1.8M in stock while top SKUs face backorders signals broken purchasing governance. Clear approval workflows and vendor controls fix fill rates: https://bit.ly/inventory-management-consulting-fix-purchasing #SupplyChain #Procurement #Logistics #InventoryManagement

Clean #data used to be the finish line for #procurement #AI readiness. It's no longer enough. #Agents don't ask for clarification but act on whatever a record says. Definitions need to be written down.

Where do the paths of #sales and #procurement meet? In this week's Twins Talk, @SuperstarHelen suggests it might be much earlier than we think: in the conversation. bit.ly/3UW4kW4 #socialselling

Perhaps the purpose of visibility isn't to create trust before we've ever spoken. Maybe it's simply to reduce the perceived risk of that next interaction. That's something I've been exploring in Twins Talk this week. bit.ly/4yck1Yc #sales #procurement #socialselling

Procurement can slow down when materials and supplier information are inconsistent.

Standardized master data helps reduce ambiguity, improve visibility and create a more reliable foundation for purchasing processes.

A better purchasing decision starts with better visibility.
When procurement teams can see the bigger operational picture, they can make clearer, more informed decisions.
