Our upcoming post chronicles our 80th Procurement Damnation that you, as a Procurement professional, have to deal with on a regular, if not daily, basis. That’s a very large number of damnations and we’re still not done! As per our halfway post, the damnations we’ve chronicled to date aren’t the only pervasive damnations that get in your way and pester you on a daily basis! We still have 21 damnations to go!
However, before we start the final stretch, we thought it would be a good idea to summarize the list to date so that you could go back and review any posts in the series that you might have missed during your hectic conference season as this is SI’s biggest and most aggressive series to date, much longer than both the 15-part “Future” of Procurement series and the 33-part “Future” Trends Expose series (that followed) combined and double the length of the maverick‘s 50 Shades of Pay series (assuming it gets completed) which, to date, only has 14 parts up and available for your reading pleasure.
There’s more that could be said, but as we’ve already said so much and still have so much more to say, without further ado, here are the links to the first 80 for your reviewing pleasure.
