This is a collection of articles that caught my attention this week.

Procurement, like other aspects of a business or government, is a system. Improve or increase the way organizations bring in new ideas, materials, products into a business’s ecosystem, and it will have ripple effects. More options at a faster rate equates to leaders being able to get what they need, when they need it. This translates into delivering relevant value, products, and solutions to customers and constituents downstream faster.
