The Ultimate Procurement Reading List

Every Procurement Pros Dream

Oct 24, 2023

Hey Procurement Legend, this is my growing list of recommended resources to stay abreast of what is happening in the World of Procurement beyond our community.

I’m bullish on these books that have delivered so much value regarding my procurement/supply chain knowledge and how I think about my career.

The Podcasts and Substack pages are great for more real-time insights.

I hope these provide you with some incredible insights in the long term and I’ll be linking this page to every Wednesday email we send out as part of our “Procurement Legends” newsletter.

You sir, are a class act.

Thanks for the shoutout. Love reading your stuff, thinking about your points, coming up with my own, posting on my side and doing it all over again.

The conversation gets to great places when we can bounce ideas off each other.

🥂 to the next decade of Procurement banter, idea generation and discussion.
