| 5/11/26 |  EP 44: The Procurement Development Gap and How to Close It | Send us Fan Mail Procurement careers are evolving at pace. The remit is expanding. Expectations are rising. Pressure is increasing. Yet in many organisations, learning and development support has reduced, shifted or become less personalised.

They explore the mindset barriers, the a... | 37m 12s | ||||||

What is your LinkedIn presence quietly costing your procurement career? In a market shaped by restructuring, increased competition and fewer internal opportunities, LinkedIn has become a powerful career lever. Not just for job searching, but for posi... | 47m 01s | ||||||
| 4/13/26 |  EP 40: Internal Leverage: The Procurement Career Advantage Many Miss | Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Procurement Pivots, we explore a topic that often feels uncomfortable but quietly shapes careers more than performance alone: internal networking.

It is about building genuine, consistent relationships that create influence, sponsorship and long-term career optionality. Donna and Laura unpack why ... | 40m 55s | ||||||
