If you are not aware of Procurious, it is an online business network dedicated to procurement professionals. Online networking and social media are becoming an important part of a procurement leaders’ tool set. The opportunities this creates for procurement is a key theme in this episode.
As a Founder of three procurement related businesses – The Faculty, The Source and now Procurious – Tania is a leader in our community. In this episode, we discuss a wide range of topics, from the impact that nano-niching will have on the procurement careers of the future, to the importance of social media in winning the war for talent.
