they also have some great original content as well.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss updates on Procurement &amp; Supply Chain, Subscribe here!<\/p>\n<p>That original content includes a review of \u201cThe Procurement Game Plan:\u00a0 Winning Strategies and Techniques For Supply Management Professionals\u201d \u2013 the book I co-authored with procurement thought leader, Dr. Soheila Lunney \u2013 as

here\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book Review: The Procurement Game Plan<\/strong> \u2013 In this article, Buyers Meeting Point co-owner, Kelly Barner, gives an overwhelmingly positive review of the book, saying that she highly recommends the book as an addition to your professional library and that \u201cThe Procurement Game Plan does not disappoint.\u201d\u00a0 She shares her three favorite sections of the book and provides some excellent commentary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interview With Soheila Lunney, Part I <\/strong>\u2013 In this segment of the interview, Barner and Dr. Lunney discuss Dr. Lunney\u2019s background and how it has helped her develop into the thought leader she is today.\u00a0 They also cover that oh-so-important topic of how procurement professionals really need to get up to speed with financial principles in order to maximize their positive impact on their organizations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interview With Soheila Lunney, Part II<\/strong> \u2013 In this segment of the interview, Barner and Dr. Lunney hit on an amazing amount of value in a very small amount of space.\u00a0 In an article that takes mere minutes to read, you will learn about supply risk management, managing backdoor selling, and improving internal relationships.\u00a0 Good stuff!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interview With Charles Dominick<\/strong> \u2013 This interview is more about the Next Level
