This week I'm joined by Peter Smith, author of Bad Buying, co-author of Procurement with Purpose, Procurement Expert and former CPO. His books are excellent and available through all good bookstores.

Is extreme weather getting the public to think again on sustainability?

Is Bad Buying 2 on the horizon?

What does the future hold for procurement?

About the cyclical nature of procurement

Which book has changed your thinking about procurement most?
