It’s Behaviour that needs to Change New Ways of Working New Ways of Thinking
The Challenge for Procurement • Strategic Management. To drive market management, develop new models of service delivery, and deliver policy through procurement. • Procurement at the Top Table. For Procurement to make a difference, to be recognised as strategically important, to increase its influence across local government and to invest in talent development. • One Cohesive Voice. To raise the profile of procurement through influencing policy and responding to key issues with a collective voice.
