Have you ever really wondered what your Stakeholders truly think? Today's episode we asked Project Managers what they think about Procurement & working with us. Believe us, they did not hold back! The PM's roast us and we give their roasts a rating based on how valid we think they are.
Project Managers are known for needing things done ASAP and doing whatever it takes to get the project over the line. This doesn't always line up nicely with due-diligence and research.Support the show

Season 2 starts with a very special episode. The two Luke's were visited by two self-proclaimed procurement gods. Rich & Ed host the amazing podcast "Procurement Says No" and often amaze with their expertise and knowledge in the Procurement space. A huge thanks to the pair for taking the time to collaborate with LTP, we really enjoyed the recording & hope you listeners do too.
Any guesses as to who turned up late and hungover?

What is Supplier Relationship Management? Why do we need it & who is best placed to do it? SRM is treated differently across various industries with a lot of companies treating it as a part of someone's role as opposed to a job in itself.
Today's amazing guest is Nigel, aka big Nige, who takes us inside his role as a relationship manager for a sizeable organisation. If you have any questions for Nigel then please get in touch with us: [email protected]. A massive thank you to Nigel for donating some of his time to help us get a little bit more clued up on SRM.
