763: Macro Clouds Gather on the Horizon: Mastermind LIVE 2024 w/ Constantine Limberakis

Art of Procurement

“I think there's this dichotomy of two things that we always have to keep in mind in procurement. We don't want to create friction. We want frictionless procurement. At the same time, we want to be seen as the people who have ideas, who could come up with something that could be innovative and have influence in the business.” - Constantine Limberakis, CEO and Owner of Liberis Consulting LLC

In a session at AOP Mastermind Live 2024, Kelly Barner sat down with Constantine Limberakis, CEO and Owner of Liberis Consulting LLC, to discuss the macroeconomic concerns and trends that procurement will certainly need to keep an eye on in the coming year.

During the session, Constantine combined his Masters Degree in public and international affairs and more than 20 years in procurement to give his perspective on:

• How procurement needs to navigate this new inflationary environment with a different mindset
• The ways technology offers procurement an opportunity to create influence across the business and support a workforce pivot
• How de-globilization lets procurement shine, even in the face of changing regulations, as they plan for the future
