Just in Time

What's the true value of younger people in the profession and the benefits of diversity and inclusion? We’re joined by Cael Sendell-Price (head of strategic procurement, non-executive director, magistrate)to discuss how we can attract people into the procurement at a younger age, what Millennials and Gen Z expect from their careers, and how to align with these changing needs to retain them. We also consider the impact of the UK Procurement Bill, food supply chain foibles and running out of Flakes.

CASME's Graham Crawshaw joins us to talk about the new and emerging challenges facing procurement since his hit blog on the topic in 2017, his time in the music industry, working with artists including Queen, Pink Floyd and the Pet Shop Boys, and where procurement sits in the shift from CDs to streaming. Plus we chat about salaries, Rishi Sunak's sweet tooth and troubles with contracts.

In this month's episode we talk to Emma Scott, representation manager at CIPS, about what we can learn from the past twelve months, future trends in procurement, and the perils of working from home for another year. Plus we chat about Unilever's promise of fair wages, Whitbread powering the push to EVs, and pipe smoking on the world stage.
