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, practitioner, content writer, tutor, and mentor 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 22 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 public company from Ukraine shortlisted for the 2020 CIPS Global Awards.

With my MSc in mathematics, I'm eager to find solid structure and consistent logic in procurement's ever-transforming role 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 told us to generate, capture, and sustain it.  This post attempts to provide the most comprehensive view on procurement value and practical methods of its realization compared to many other web sources that replicate slogans and mystify logical and straightforward concepts.  The meaning of value Value is not substantive; it is rather adjectival. It characterizes something or results from its application. 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 easy is it to explain the value? The value is equally apparent for those who know the truth.  Therefore, we will give different definitions and not pretend to have found the unilateral value formula. Value is paramount to procurement evolution. Th

My Q&A on Agility for "Trusted Magazine" (December 2023)

The source link . How could you describe your career path in a few words?   I worked in procurement for 22 years - telecom, airline, railways, public infrastructure services and consulting industries, and multiple geographies. I’m a Fellow of CIPS and an author of “ The Technology Procurement Handbook ,” where I tried to share my passion for what we used to call “IT Procurement.” This is where I started digging deeper into the Agile agenda , thinking of finding repercussions with our professional life and blogging on related topics.      How do you think agile practices have transformed companies over the past two years?   I assume that Agile practices in procurement are hyped more than used : many companies still mandate the use of the RFx as the sole answer to any emerging sourcing requirement, many fear or don’t appreciate the demand management, and digital transformation frequently happens without any comprehensive strategy and benefits tracking. Our strategies and plans aren’t a
