The Procurement Initiative

The Procurement Initiative is a modern think tank and community for people who want to shape the future of procurement by gaining and sharing knowledge and networking with peers through our podcast and in-person meetups. We founded The Procurement Initiative to bring together the leading procurement thinkers from business, academia, and management consulting, to find fresh answers to the most significant challenges in procurement.
