Episode 20 - Procurement Habbits

Nobody teaches you how to unlearn in procurement.

You learn the process.

You inherit the templates.

You follow the rules.

And before you know it, those early decisions become your default setting.

But here’s the real challenge:

By the time you have the experience to know what should change—

You’re often the one expected to defend the status quo.

That’s the trap.

Not bad intent.

Just quiet repetition.

This video is for anyone who’s ever felt that nudge.

The sense that something in your process feels off—

But it’s hard to question it when it’s all you’ve ever known.

Because real leadership in procurement doesn’t start with better templates.

It starts with the courage to rethink the ones we inherited.
