Ep 16: Love Them or Leave Them – Procurement Buzzwords & Acronyms featuring Vishal Patel and Philip Ideson
RELEASED 9/10/2024
Language has the power to unite a community. Not only does it create a feeling of belonging, using the same terminology as others makes the speaker’s meaning clear, despite challenging circumstances. On the other hand, language can also alienate, frustrate, and just plain annoy people who are not familiar with the acronyms and terminology used by others.
In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Kelly Barner is joined by Vishal Patel, Vice President Product Marketing at Ivalua, and Philip Ideson, Managing Director at Art of Procurement. They take on the issues and challenges of language head on – and with a healthy sense of humor.
Join us as Kelly, Vishal, and Philip talk about:
Which business buzzwords they would use to describe themselves and their organizations
The trending phrases they would ‘vote off the island’ if given the opportunity
How communication can – and should – be a top priority for anyone working in or with procurement
