Back in April I welcomed Ivalua SVP Sales and Business Development Amol Joshi to the show to talk about the company's big win Arizona, as well as successes with Quebec Hydro, Toronto’s Cadillac Fairview, and other notable account wins including US Foods, Honeywell and Credit Suisse. To say that Ivalua is a company on the rise may be an understatement, especially given their recent acquisition of Directworks, a company who has cloud-based platform that provides supplier management and process automation solutions for the manufacturing sector. Joining me today to discuss the "business" implications of this news is Alex Saric. Alex is Ivalua's CMO, and we will be focusing on the following three discussion points; 1. In my April interview with Amol Joshi, I suggested that we are perhaps seeing "the dawn of a new era, where companies such as Ivalua will begin to dominate both the market and its traditional big players." He did not disagree. Within this context, and from a business and branding standpoint, how important is this acquisition? 2. One thing that stood out from my discussion with Amol is his comment that before now, companies like Ariba and COUPA never took Ivalua seriously. At the time he said that with the Arizona win, as well as the other new client additions, he believed that this would all change going forward. What message does the Directworks acquisition send to your competitors? 3. Is this the first of what could possibly be many "strategic" acquisitions? How does the company view the acquisition approach to gaining both technical superiority and increased market share?…

Okay, so I took some liberties with the famous Mark Twain, and Charles Dudley Warner joke about the weather and made it about risk. However, and different from the weather, procurement professionals can do something about risk, but for whatever reason choose not to.

Joining me today to talk about this disconnect is The Hackett Group's Chris Sawchuk, who's paper Emerging Options for Supply Chain Risk Management attempts to shed some light on what is a growing issue in the rapidly expanding global marketplace. I will be asking Chris these questions; Going back at least a decade, there has been the ready acknowledgment on the part of organizations that while risk exists not enough is being done to mitigate said risks. Why?In your recent paper, you state that the risk-management software tools that are currently available on the market "are still immature" when it comes to an integrated view of risk and that this leaves a lot of room for growth.

Over the next 30-minutes, I will be talking with IBM Vice President of Global Procurement Graham Wright, and we will be focusing on the following discussion points; 1. In your Procurious Big Ideas Summit, you will be talking about transformation being the "new norm" as organizations look for ways to respond to an "onslaught of shocks." Right off the bat, to what shocks are you referring and, what future shocks can we expect? 2. You will also be talking about a "best-practice" approach or way to transform the procurement function. However, there is a difference between being aware and prepared, and taking meaningful action. How do you move companies from a state of inertia in the face of acknowledged risk and motivate them to transform their organizations? 3.

While I did not see an immediate or direct connection with the procurement world, you will be discussing the disruptive forces headed toward procurement pros in 2017 at the Procurious Big Ideas Summit. So here is the question; how do you link or correlate expertise in jihadist terrorism with procurement? 2. In the past when the subject of disruptive forces and procurement came up, factors such as financial environments, political change, technological advances, socio-cultural change, and environmental fluctuations were usually cited as areas to watch. How do these align with your disruptive forces? 3.

Ironically, the use of the term upstart is somewhat deceiving, because Ivalua has been around for 15 years.

Why is this, and how can the new partnership stimulate or facilitate needed executive action? 3.

Procurement is a cornerstone of a sound supply chain and overall business strategy.

Today we talk with Procurify's John Rugamas about this new program. In the introduction to the Global procurement awards, reference is made to recognizing "the importance of innovation and excellence in the profession and is committed to rewarding those organizations and individuals showing leadership and dedication to driving it forward, impacting their teams, organizations, communities and the world at large." I would like to talk about each one of these elements individually. 1, Driving it forward . . . it seems like a fairly straight forward concept, but what does driving it forward actually mean and, how has the premise evolved over the years in terms of procurement's role? 2. From a generational standpoint are the up and coming pros better positioned to have a greater impact in terms of their teams and their organizations on a whole, than did their predecessors? Whether yes or no, please elaborate. 3. Regarding community impact and the world at large, are we talking about social and economic impact beyond the procurement pro's own organization? What skill sets are required to have this greater reach in today's world? 4. In terms of nominees, what are the demographics from which the winners are likely to come? 5.

Generally speaking, what impact has and will social media/networking have on the procurement profession as a whole? 3. IACCM CEO Tim Cummins made the statement that the traditional membership model based on the payment of annual fees no longer represents a sustainable or viable framework. He then went on to say that associations have to move to an al la carte model in which payment is received for specific services in which the value can be clearly demonstrated.

“I’m literally trying to think through and just imagine what the possible justification for this could be.

What possible justification can there be for that?” – Todd MacKay, Canadian Taxpayers Federation Above is just one of the many responses to Manitoba Hydro's recent decision to award a contract to a supplier through the utilization of what is known has an EOI or Expression of Interest. This of course raises the much larger question are single source and/or sole source contracts necessarily a bad thing, in which the taxpayer ends up paying a premium for services that would hjave been otherwise far less costly through a competitive bid process?

This week our guest audio excerpt is from an unusually entertaining video from Next Level Purchasing Association President Charles Dominick on traditional vs non traditional approaches to recruiting. The video was posted to YouTube on November 9th, so here is what I'm guessing happened. Right after the NLPA Halloween party, Charles found a box of leftover costumes and a case of Red Bull before going into a planning session on procurement recruiting. The result is an absolutely hysterical video featuring Charles and his two alter egos – 'traditional man' who looks like a cross between Albert Einstein and Mr. Rodgers and 'radical man' who wears glasses and a hoodie – hood up. Here is the link to the full 11 minute YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9ktmHBpdsA…

This week's guest audio excerpt is from a recent ProcureChange webinar on 'Applying Outsourcing Best Practices to Improve the Performance of your Internal Procurement Group.' In this event, ProcureChange founder Phil Ideson walked through ten best practices, but he focused in depth on three: putting formal statement's of work in place, investing in governance, and working through stakeholder level planning. Fortunately for the webinar attendees, Ideson's governance is not the starched itchy collar you might be thinking of. It is a highly strategic, actionable part of the procurement program.
