As you may be aware, I am planning on a number of category specific shows. The intent is to provide insights, tactics and strategies that both help professionals that manage particular categories – or lead other people that do. However, these shows also help professionals that manage other categories apply some different thinking to their book of business.
Today’s guest on The Art Of Procurement is Bob Rodwell, Owner of Incaman Limited and Senior Consultant with Reforma Consultancy. Bob helps procurement departments build stronger engagement with Marketing stakeholders.
