The inner value driving passion often segregates exceptional procurement professionals from average ones. The strategic side takes over to leverage market intelligence and supplier network strength which subsequently paves way for solutions that are companywide acknowledged and adopted for better output. This in turn raises/changes the Procurement department perception around business units who are then able to cross function/collaborate better on future projects.

Attitude, Communication and Business details; the pillars of a successful procurement process. Detailing, Listening and Negotiation really works.

Acredito que essa seja uma das habilidades mais importante da área de suprimentos para as companhias, pois promovem a integridade, transparência e responsabilidade. Ao adotar práticas éticas, os gestores de compras contribuem para relacionamentos sustentáveis com fornecedores, evitam conflitos de interesse e mantêm a confian?a das partes interessadas. A ética na gest?o de compras também ajuda a garantir processos justos e equitativos, promovendo uma reputa??o positiva para a organiza??o.

La ética. Valor relevante e indispensable en toda organización. La ética debe prevalecer en todo proceso de negociación, el cual debe ser transparente y claro para las partes interesadas. Nos garantiza el éxito final de la compra. El fiel cumplimento de las leyes, normas y procedimientos del país y normas y procedimientos internos de la Organización quien compra ( bien sean compras nacionales o internacionales), forman parte de la ética.

Effective procurement management requires a combination of hard skills (analytical, financial, contract, supply chain, technical) and soft skills (communication, negotiation, collaboration, strategic thinking, leadership). Procurement managers must analyze data, manage contracts, and understand supply chain principles while communicating effectively, negotiating contracts, and collaborating with stakeholders. Integrity, adaptability, and continuous learning are essential to survive and navigate in a complex organisation's environment fast paced and sometimes hostile. And patience and resilience are not plus, but mandatory !

Effective procurement management requires a mix of skills and knowledge. Hard skills include mathematics, analytics, procurement laws, supply chain management, and technology. Soft skills include communication, negotiation, collaboration, problem-solving, and time management. Knowledge areas include business acumen, departmental functions, procurement processes, people management, market trends, strategic thinking, risk management, sustainability, and innovation. Procurement professionals need to stay up-to-date with new technologies and processes to drive business value and contribute to organizational success.

Nonetheless more important than negotiation and communication, I believe that effective procurement management requires three critical skills: number literacy, data analysis, and project management. Number literacy enables accurate financial analysis and budgeting. Data analysis allows for informed decision-making and strategic planning. Project management ensures timely and efficient execution of procurement projects. Possessing these skills enables procurement professionals to drive cost savings, mitigate risks, and enhance supply chain resilience. By developing these skills, procurement teams can deliver strategic value to their organizations.
