Procurement Weekly

The Latest from that Procurement Nerd, Daniel Barnes

Hey Procurement Legend,

I didn’t put out a newsletter last week as I was chilling out, exploring Dublin, and drinking Guinness (and yes, it really does taste better over there).

Anyway, back to it now. Here is your weekly dose of Procurement news, insights, and the bizarre stuff I dig up during my content exploration.

What I’m reading

Elon Musk, by Walter Isaacson. Walter Isaacson is an incredible biographer, and I’m hoping he touches on Elon’s approach to Supply Chain at some point. I’ll let you know.

What I’m Excited About

I’m actually heading out to Croatia on Sunday with Gatekeeper do some strategy work and enjoy some R&R with the wider team. I try not to talk much about what I do at Gatekeeper with my consultancy work, as I don’t want to create biased content. But I do some cool stuff with Gatekeeper, so let me know if you wanna hear about it from time to time.

See you next week,
