When organizations break, most leaders blame structure.


They blame process.

They blame systems.

They blame cost.

They blame capacity.


But broken organizations don’t primarily suffer from structural confusion.

When Procurement gets creative it can break the old models and deliver innovation.

There can be lack of imagination.


People get stuck in old models.

They default to process instead of possibility.

They optimize small things instead of redesigning big things.

They follow templates instead of thinking.

They manage instead of invent.


Performance rarely collapses because of constraints.


It collapses because of unimaginative thinking.


Most organizations are underperforming their potential because they’ve stopped thinking creatively. Its time for more creative procurement practices.
