Procurement Resources

To remain efficient in today’s procurement practices, we must utilize external tools strategically to provide our stakeholders with the best possible options. These forecasts and meaningful data must originate from legitimate sources to substantiate our decision-making process in selecting the optimal choices and, ultimately, delivering the highest value to our organization.

On this page you will find helpful links and resources related to Supply Management, Procurement, Business Travel, and other related topics, all sourced from legitimate and reliable sources. These are the same resources I use as tools to assist me with my daily strategic and tactical duties in Procurement. I hope you will also find these resources useful and beneficial. If you have other tools you use and would like to recommend, please click here or visit my contact page to connect with me. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
