The hard truths of the procurement industry as it is with Daniel Barnes Founder of World of Procurement #16

Your role in procurement is to achieve and to promote the aims of the business.” 

Daniel Barnes, Founder of World of Procurement and host of the World of Procurement Podcast works across all sectors of procurement, which in itself is pretty niche. Starting his career with a degree in Commercial Law and a Masters in IT and Commerce Law, Daniel truly found his passion within the world of procurement.

Martin and Dan touch on a variety of topics but mostly around the need to humanise and change mindsets of those working in procurement. As professionals in the industry, they need to be acting more like business people - considering the business as a whole, realigning business goals and targets to that of the CEO’s or your Directors.
