You love procurement.
That feeling you get when you look back at the benefit you have delivered for your business over the last 12 months or on a specific tender, it makes you feel great doesn't it?
Some of those savings numbers will be pretty sizeable, great for the Company's bottom line......but how much of those savings do you see personally, in your paycheck?
I'll hazard a guess the answer is none.
