Our fourth episode is a slight diversion, we enter the world of procurement and supply and interview Malcolm Harrison, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS).

CIPS is a UK based global professional body focused on its objective of leading excellence in procurement and supply. With offices in 5 countries and a membership of 100,000, it is the largest professional body covering procurement and supply.

Malcolm talks us through his journey through a fascinating career, we reflect on how well the logistics industry addresses its procurement and wonder whether there is some value being missed by the industry?

Procurement, at its best, is about values and value creation.

We conclude our interview with some future thoughts and why procurement is an excellent career choice and how CIPS can be a key support and innovation driver in the field of procurement.

It’s a longer interview than normal, simply the subject areas covered were fascinating.
