About this listen
Most people outside the field don’t even realize Indirect Procurement exists — yet it quietly drives the majority of a company’s operating spend. In this first full episode of The Procurement Brief, I’m breaking down what Indirect Procurement really is, why it’s so often misunderstood, and why it deserves far more recognition across every organization.
With over three decades leading procurement transformation, I’ve seen how the indirect side powers marketing, HR, IT, facilities, and countless categories that keep a business running. Still, it’s often undervalued because the results are less visible — savings hidden in processes, efficiency, and supplier performance.
In this episode, we’ll explore how Indirect Procurement creates measurable business value, what makes it different from Direct Procurement, and how leaders can elevate their teams to a true strategic role.
