Procurement is crucial to business success and sustainability. For 20 years, procurement managers and directors have lived by the motto- ‘I’ve got to get it for $1 less.’ But that motto is increasingly unhelpful in a complex world where relationship building towards win-win collaboration is more important than ever.
Why We Are Here
Our journey began with a simple yet profound realization:
Why are there so many companies that offer negotiation training to anyone, and why is there no global training company that solely focuses on upskilling Procurement Professionals?
Why are there so many companies that offer negotiation training to anyone, and why is there no global training company that solely focuses on upskilling Procurement Professionals?
We are here to change that! Procurement Tactics is founded on love for the profession of Procurement. What we like about working in Procurement, is that you can actually leave your stamp on the organization. You can have a real impact. It’s a great field for people who love critical thinking, numbers, and putting things in order, but also for those who love the more human side of work: interaction, communication, and creativity. The job affords that you’re not just using one side of the brain. That’s why I think I will always love procurement. And that’s why I’m so excited to share all our courses with teams from all over the world!
