Reason 7: It requires a diversity of skills
Succeeding in procurement and supply chain management requires a broad diversity of skills. The skills required in the past, such as; hard-balling suppliers, policing compliance with procurement rules, and administering paperwork and procedures are now longer adequate. Instead what is required are CEO type skills, such as;
??Leadership
??Driving business performance and achieving business results
??Strategic thinking
??Partnerships and strategic alliances
??Internal collaboration and communication
??Understanding markets, predicting change and managing risk
??Innovation and creative thinking, including; new products and new markets.
