One of our students asked me how their purchasing team can get their internal customers to give them enough time to do their work on purchasing-related requests. I thought that you could benefit as well, so I\u2019ll share my response with you.<\/p>\n

To ensure that internal customers give you enough time to do your job well, you must communicate four things:<\/p>\n
1. What you actually do after getting a request for your action<\/p>\n
2. Why your work is valuable and has measurable benefit to the organization<\/p>\n
3. How you do care about productivity and how you\u2019ve improved your productivity\/cycle time over the past few months\/years<\/p>\n
4. What the consequences are if you are not given enough time<\/p>\n
I hope that this helps you, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
