In that article, I began to describe some things that you may want to consider including on your procurement department reports.\u00a0 As a procurement leader, I think that you have to think of the procurement report in terms of the psychology behind it.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s discuss that psychology in a little more detail\u2026<\/p>\n
The procurement report is a tool to formalize the priority of things to be done.\u00a0 Let\u2019s face it, there are a lot of things that a procurement team does as well as a lot of things that a procurement team can do.<\/p>\n
But that doesn\u2019t mean that management needs to know about all of those things.\u00a0 They only need to know about what is important.<\/p>\n
And what is most important should be the tasks that take up the most time of the procurement team.\u00a0 By having to report progress on a subset of all of the things they do, a well-structured procurement report will ensure that the procurement team focuses on what they have to report on instead of allowing unimportant things to distract them from higher priorities.<\/p>\n
The words \u201cno update\u201d should be embarrassing for a procurement team member to write on a procurement report.\u00a0 That means that a high priority task was ignored for something else.\u00a0 And if that \u201csomething else\u201d was a low priority task, there\u2019s something wrong.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll have more commentary right here after Part II is released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
