Ep 20: Empowering Procurement in Times of Change feat Mathew Schulz #LoveProcurement

RELEASED 11/19/2024

Many procurement conversations are focused on tech, but the work of procurement is innately human – even the digital parts. As procurement systems become bridges to the business, procurement professionals have the opportunity to cross them and forge strategic, more meaningful relationships with entirely new parts of the business.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Mathew Schulz. Mathew is the Founder of matchat, an accelerator for career-minded procurement professionals.

Mathew shares his view on the role of humanity and real connections in driving procurement excellence:

  • The opportunity associated with the data created by and collected in procurement systems
  • How blending art with science is the best way to drive desired business outcomes
  • The value of having an engaged professional network, in person and online
