The book (Part 1 & Part 2) captures my 28 years of learning and growth in the area of Strategic Sourcing and Supply Chain Management. The topics covered and the content assimilated could be extremely valuable to anyone who aspires to make a lasting and rewarding career in the area of Sourcing & Procurement and/or Procurement Operations & SCM. You will find every page of the book adding to your knowledge as you progress logically, reading chapter after chapter. You would also find the aesthetics pleasing to the eye as if you are going through a storyline in a presentation style. Part 1 of the book especially showcase all that you need from Spend Management, negotiations through Contracting and Inventory Management. The uniqueness of the book is evident from the macro-enabled spreadsheets and templates provided along with the chapters to make it more practical to apply in your daily work.

Part 2 of the book covers more advance procurement topics like Sourcing Strategies, Category Management, Cognitive Buying and Digital Procurement and it also touches a few general but extremely important topics like Sustainability and Change Management If you are in middle management role and want to gallop fast to the senior levels, do not miss out on Part 2. I can almost certainly claim that it would add immense value to your knowledge and skills. Please soak yourself in the colour of my QTs (Cuties) as another unique feature added after every two chapters to give you a little extra as bonus. Finally, do not miss out on the Appendix Section given at the end of Part 2, that would bring more comprehensive coverage to make the recipe of Procurement more pleasing to the palette. Happy Learning !!!
