Two pieces of news to report to you today.

First of all, Jason Busch, The mighty Prophet of the spend management space, has started his own mini-series on the issue. You can read The Spend Management Talent Game (Part 1) through the link. I’ll summarize and post my thoughts when he finishes the series in a later post.

Also, NextLevelPurchasing, which was recently recognized as the Innovative Business of the Year by the Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce (PAACC) is going to launch the first video installment of their Purchasing & Supply Management Podcast Series next Tuesday (October 17, 2006) on the importance of contract management.
