A single point for procurement-information: utopia or worth trying?
The procurement function is more and more shifting from a purely support function towards a value-adding activity. The rapidness of this shift differs strongly across organizations and is dependent on different factors like size of the company, geographic position/dispersion, organizational structure and type of industry.
Though, at the base of this shift lies awareness of new (procurement related) developments, insights, knowledge and practical experiences. With the rise of social media, a whole new way of gathering and sending procurement knowledge has come into existence. Procurement practitioners, professionals and theorists fill the entire web with their procurement experience and insights. This is a good development for the procurement function, because the information is freely accessible, it comes from first hand and is up to date. Nevertheless, due to the wide offer of different channels on the internet like Twitter and LinkedIn, it may become somewhat confusing.
