“Chad Trexler is the BEST Procurement thought leader I’ve ever known. I’ve witnessed him brilliantly envision a strategy, create an operating model to enable the strategy, and execute. The results: the internal Procurement function truly became a competitive advantage at Parexel. He did this so well that procurement services were marketed to and added value for external customers. Chad leads his people by listening to, including, and inspiring them. The large organization he led was highly engaged and had low turnover because of his style. Chad is a genuinely decent and trustworthy person who is consistently committed to doing the right thing for the organization he works for and for the people he leads. ”

Dana Stiffler is a great friend and more importantly a powerful voice for the importance talent in Supply Chain 💪 One of the critical areas Dana advocates for is the power of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Supply Chain--it's a tricky time for DEI efforts but I love this quote: “They’re under more pressure — and perhaps have more benefits to gain at scale — from being good at DEI.” Investing in people matters. Harnessing the power of diversity and inclusion matters. And I'm proud to work with colleagues like Dana who are working tirelessly to inspire (and advise) Supply Chain leaders on doing better. https://lnkd.in/eufpAYj4

In this podcast hosted by @Supply Chain Management Review Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Brian Straight, my colleague, Laura Juliano, talks about how companies can achieve cost savings.

For the past few years, forces outside of the supply chain organization have dictated how and when the supply chain adds value. Now, things are changing. Live at Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo, Gartner VP Analyst Tom Enright explored how CSCOs and supply chain leaders can own the unique value that the supply chain provides.

THE BEST SOLUTION IS OFTEN... to simplify. Great article below to which I would add the advice to shorten and simplify your supply chain. Long chains inherently contain a greater number of weak links. In-shore, near-shore, re-shore if you want greater security and less risk. #supplychainsimplification

Had a good chat with Daniel Faggella recently on the Emerj Artificial Intelligence Research AI Business podcast alongside 4x CPO Len DeCandia. In the clip below, we talk about how the conversation around talent in procurement has shifted from either/or "hard" vs. "soft" skills to a both/and of telling stories using data and building relationships without losing momentum on key projects and initiatives. We also talked about AI and machine learning’s role in data cleansing, and how it’s flipping the traditional order of legacy procurement processes. Lots more to cover too, so listen to the full podcast on Apple here: https://lnkd.in/gBqWsVJP You can also find a writeup in a link in the comments. What have been your experiences with keeping and attracting the right talent? Let me know any thoughts in the comments 👍 #procurement #ai #supplychain #leadership

I’ve seen a lot of supply chain consulting projects tank during initial discovery. Despite knowing their jobs very well, many CEOs, CFOs, chief marketing officers and other C-suite executives know little about supply chain. And even chief supply chain officers have their blind spots. Check out my blog in the first comment to learn about assessing the supply chain maturity of the person on the other side of the table. #SupplyChainConsulting, #SupplyChainDiscovery, #ClientExpertise, #CSCOChallenges, #ConsultingGuide

When you find a partner as good as Gartner then you wont look back. The results speak for themselves not only in business results and the ever so pleasing aspects of achieving your roadmap and progressing with your long term vision but also in your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) as displayed in our double digit growth in the Supply Chain culture survey results for the past year.
