As the famous adage says, “Knowledge is power”, we appreciate the importance of knowledge in every sector, particularly a complex profession like procurement.

The Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) has made many helpful resources to promote the importance of the profession. However, to our opinion, some of their publications lack of necessary details. These inadequacies may prompt students unable to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios.

This page concentrates on patching the ‘holes’ and providing practical knowledge that improves the productivity of procurement professionals around the world.
