I'm writing this blog to share topics of interest in technology, procurement, general business, and sciences. 

By doing this, I wanted to be a credible procurement consultant, content writer, mentor, and tutor available for freelance and full-time assignments. 

I can help with procurement and supply chain audit, strategy, operational modeling, governance, category management, sourcing, transformation and digitalization, skill assessment, and training. 

Please ping me using my contacts above if you need a highly professional procurement consultant or a tutor. 

I'm a practitioner with 20+ years of experience in multiple industries (Telco, IT, aviation, railways) and across different geographies (Europe, Middle East, Africa). 

I contributed to some remarkable global procurement alliances and transformation projects and was a part of the Best Procurement Team in the MENA region in 2015 and 2017. My project became the 2015 Best International Project and Overall Winner of the CIPS Middle East Awards. I led Ukrainian Railways to become the first Ukrainian company shortlisted for the 2020 CIPS Global Awards.

With my MSc in mathematics, I'm eager to find some solid structure and consistent logic in the ever-transforming role of procurement and further alleviate the value of our fascinating profession.

The Importance of Supply Chain Collaboration

Image
  Why is supply chain collaboration essential? Once, I was asked what makes the supply chain important to a company. Our profession may not be rocket science. Other peers around the company overlap with us in their functions - Technology tends to manage suppliers , Finance owns the demand planning and budgeting , and Sales and Marketing monopolize the end-customer value chain.  These and other colleagues do not always appreciate us; some believe they are even better at our job.  Shadow procurement, supply chain, and logistics have become standards for many companies.  However, some critical differentiators - like collaboration - justify the very existence of our profession!  The supply chain is the most collaborative function in the business.  We find peers everywhere, even behind enemy lines. We welcome any opportunity to form a cross-functional team with anyone who can bring business value through supply chain strategies, sales  and operations planning,  inventory management,   B

The Discovery of Procurement Value

Image
Procurement value demystified Unfortunately, " procurement value " became another buzzword – everyone tells us to generate, capture, and sustain it.  This post attempts to provide the most comprehensive view on procurement value and practical methods of its realizations compared to many other web sources replicating slogans and mystifying logical and straightforward concepts.  The meaning of value Value is not substantive. It is rather adjectival. It characterizes something or results from the application of something. It doesn't exist in its raw form; it's being created. It's a universal differentiator between good and bad things or actions. This 1914 philosophical article defines value  as the object of proper judgment . How easier does it make the explanation of value? The value is equally apparent for those who know the truth.  Therefore, we will give different definitions, not pretend to have found the unilateral value formula. Value is paramount t

The New Looking of Industrial Buying

Image
Industrial buying has been subjected to research for over a half-century.  Instead of treating the act of buying as a spontaneous event, researchers viewed it as a series of patterns explained by the nature of actors, demands, and relationships.   Such a new looking provides a relationship-centric context of industrial buying instead of superficial product characteristics shaping the entire process. Buygrid Framework : An Introduction to Industrial Buying Theory  The Buygrid Framework  (1967)  classical procurement theory analyzes the industrial (B2B) buying behavior and business processes.  It presents industrial buying not as a single event but as an organizational decision-making process where multiple individuals decide on a purchase.  The framework comprises a matrix of " buyclasses " and "buy phases." Buy phases Buy phases pretty much remind the steps of the source-to-contract cycle: identification of needs, establish specifications, Search for alternatives, e
