This week, rather than publish my normal Friday solo show, I am going to share another great interview.  Procurement consulting firm Advanced Purchasing Dynamics (APD) recently surveyed a cross section of President’s, CEO’s and CFO’s across the manufacturing industry to understand how they perceived the role of procurement.  To any procurement professional, regardless of industry, the results were both eye opening and alarming!

Today’s guest on the show is Jeoff Burris, the Founder of APD. Jeoff shares the key findings from APD’s research, and how he believes that procurement leaders and professionals should react to build build stronger relationships and relevancy with the c-suite.
