🚀 THE SECRET SAUCE TO SUCCESS IN PROCUREMENT
Last week, during the European Energy Supply Chain Summit in Berlin (a fantastic event by the way), a new book was presented that has been awaited (and needed) by the Procurement community for a long time.
💡“SUCCESSFUL CPOs – Stories of Powerful CPOs“ by Dr. Hajo Drees
It is a compelling compilation that draws on the rich experiences and insightful wisdom of over 35 Chief Procurement Officers, Heads and Directors of Procurement from multiple industries. This book also includes the perspectives of those who support and collaborate with Procurement and Procurement Leaders: CEOs, CFOs, Designers, Architects, and Consultants, highlighting the collective knowledge that drives success in Procurement.
💡Practical: Each article is rooted in the author’s extensive. year-long experiences and proving concepts. Some authors:
Jan Grothe, CPO Deutsche Bahn
Angela Qu, Chief Supply Chain Officer, IVECO
Peter Hagenow, CPO KWS Group
Jana Striezel, VP Procurement Renault Group
Danielle Pontarollo, CPO ZF Group
Stefan Braun, CPO ÖBB
Stefan Middelhauve, CPO Meyer Werft
👉My judgment: A must-read for Procurement Leaders and for those who want to become one. It shows the many perspectives of a leader in Procurement and also the numerous approaches to strengthening Procurement and one’s role.
👏Thanks to Dr. Hajo Drees and the Berlin Institute of Supply Chain Management for being part of this book and sharing my „wisdom“ of 28 years in Procurement.
It was great to meet many people again, such as my former colleague Susanne Lauda at AGCO or Stephan Kunigk, Amprion.
