Don’t Abdicate – Delegate by Kelly Barner
September 11, 2013
In my August 26th weekly procurement update on the PI Window on Business Blog Talk Radio program, I addressed the continued need for human intervention in spend analysis, regardless of opportunities for automation and outsourcing. An over-reliance on technology at the outset of the spend analysis process can be costly later on, when procurement needs […]
Being named one of Blog Talk Radio’s top hosts an unexpected honor
August 12, 2013
When I aired my first show on Blog Talk Radio back on March 26th, 2009 I would have never imagined that I would one day pass the 650 episode mark, let alone be selected as one of the Network’s Top 300 hosts. With 15,000 hosts airing a mind boggling number of shows every day, it […]
Recent Zycus video demonstrates that even though you are “on” social media doesn’t mean you are “in” social media by Jon Hansen
June 30, 2013
“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Back in 2010 I produced a PI Inquisitive Eye Internet TV segment titled Spend Intelligence & Botox in which Zycus was the sponsor. Even though it was a test broadcast that was based on a […]
Welcome to The New Procurement Insights EU Edition
May 23, 2013
This past year has been somewhat of a watershed year for the Procurement Insights blog as well as its sister radio show The PI Window on the World. For example, we surpassed the 1,000 post mark with the blog that was launched with little fanfare in May 2007. That is a lot of “virtual ink” […]
The First Procurement Insights Post . . . Five Years Later Were My Observations Right?
October 26, 2012
Editor’s Note: As we quickly approach my 1,000th Procurement Insights blog post – we are with today’s submission at 995, I thought that I would share with you the very first post from May 18th, 2007. The topic that I tackled was the movement away from ERP/IT-centric e-procurement initiatives and the effect on buyers, sellers […]
As I approach my 1,000th Procurement Insights blog post the question remains . . . why blog?
October 25, 2012
1,000 blog posts . . . well actually as of right now and excluding today’s post, 993. When I started the Procurement Insights blog back in May 2007 I never had what you would say a grand plan. Seth Godin once said that he blogs because he can think of no other medium through which […]
Denali Sourcing Forum Highlights and why it’s great to be back on the road again! (Part 1 of 2)
September 24, 2012
Having in the past had the privilege of traveling the world to speak about procurement, business trends and social media, I was glad to end my one and a half year hiatus from the circuit this past week in Pittsburgh at the Denali Group’s Executive Sourcing Forum. During my time of travel inertia I was […]

The Bandwagon Effect or why Spend Matters coverage of Coupa speaks to the growing creditability gap of “traditional” industry pundits by Jon Hansen

Back on September 18th, 2008 in a post titled “Moving Procurement Practice Beyond Adjunct Complexity” I gave a review of the Coupa solution. I outlined in detail why I believed that the company would become a major player in the then not too distant future. Sharing the news of my belief in the company’s inevitable […]
