Big Bold KPI Series: KPI 04 is here! Scope 3 Management.
Continuing the series, Supernegotiate shares my thoughts on Scope 3 Management KPI.
Most organizations are starting to manage how to measure and manage Scope 3 KPI. The traditional approach favors measuring activity level carbon emissions data and introducing measures to reduce it.
However, a better approach is enforcing the use of Green Energy instead! More about Scope 3 new KPI in this video!
If you have not been following this series, I started Big Bold KPI series last month. Introducing a 5-part video series. BIG BOLD KPIs for CPOs. These are my top 5 KPIs, which I think, we must embrace, to enable a meaningful Procurement transformation in the current hype of "Ai" / "Digitalization".
Each KPI video will be 5-7 minutes long, hence, perfect for your car commute podcast or while you sip your coffees.
Available on Linkedin, Spotify, Apple Podcast, and Youtube!
I'll leave the link of previous episodes in the comments!

#BigBoldKPIs series is here! Supernegotiate is introducing new-age Procurement KPIs, and we are at our 3rd KPI today. I recently wrote about How Mediocrity in Procurement now hides behind GenAi. Going deeper into that thought, I think how we "evaluate the success of Digitization in Procurement" needs radically new metrics. Stop doing this immediately - Running after "Adoption" or "Use Based" metrics to prove your shiny tool works - Visibility of Information amongst sea of a thousand of dashboards - Months and Months of Change Management I have proposed some new ideas in this video. Let me know your thoughts. I want to share these tips (on spend analysis, negotiation, procurement excellence, and more) during the action (when your category managers are in a transaction). So, ask your platform providers to integrate Supernegotiate content into your platform feed directly. I am not charging anything; it's free! Force them instead to do this for you.

KPI 02 in Big Bold KPIs series:Continuing the series of defining New Age KPIs and moving away from typical old KPIs in Procurement, the time has come for Cycle time to be phased out.Supernegotiate recommended that instead of a cycle time KPI, define the Time of Market (or Speed of Market) KPI for Procurement. More on this in this short video. Again, traditionalists can easily dismiss these ideas but don't complain about Procurement not getting a seat at the table. More on this in my next blog article (coming out on Monday).

Ladies and gentlemen and welcomeback to SUPERNEGOTIATE. It has been quite a while since we last interacted. Now, I have been busy putting together a new series forus and this time I will be covering case studies. Case studies from the biggest procurement mismanagement and fiascos from the best and biggest organizations in the world. For the first one, I have for you the fiasco done by the Defence Procurement Department of UK. Chapters The program name Ajax. The budget size is 6.5 billion pounds.And the reason I picked up this as the first case study is this is Procurement 101 in What You Should NOT DO And How You Should NOT handle a procurement contract of this big size. What could have gone wrong has almost gone wrong in this horribly managed program. We have cases of design complications, we have cases of poorest schedule management, supplier performance management, communication gaps, cost overruns and poor contract negotiation skills. And to top that off, the budget overruns without any estimate and poor SLA management. And we are just barely scratching the surface.

And I am back with my new podcast on Sales Techniques used against Procurement buyers in Negotiation! In my last podcast, I shared the first 3 tips for sales techniques commonly used by sales teams against procurement buyers. Now, in this final podcast of the series, I'm sharing the last 2 tips to help procurement teams be aware and prepared for these tactics. As a Chief Procurement Officer, it's crucial to train your team to be able to detect and counteract these sales techniques. There is no need for expensive training etc.
It is 2023, and there is so much content available online already! Use it. So, on your next offsite or Friday noon catchup, could you ask your team to spend 1 hour reading about negotiations or listento the content I am putting in every week?
If the video format is required, it is available on youtube/supernegotiate. Search "Supernegotiate" and you should be there!
Seriously, what's your excuse again for not upgrading yourself in 2023?
ps: If you want to share your experience or have a chat on Procurement (Spend analysis, Negotiation, Challenges in 2023 and Digital transformation), I'd love to feature you on my next vlog.

In this last episode of the top 10 issues during negotiation, I have discussed seven more cognitive biases that even most experienced procurement professionals experience.

In this episode, I am speaking about Sunk Cost and Anchoring Bias,
Often, many negotiators will feel the burden of effort required to restart the negotiation, especially when the negotiation process has been going on for a while!

I have been reading about cognitive biases in Negotiations. We all are affected by the information and environment during any sourcing negotiations. Our "liking", "understanding", or even "perception." about suppliers or prices/discounts changes throughout the multiple rounds of negotiation.
These misconceptions are what we call cognitive biases. So, I decided to make a series of videos on this topic.
But Instead of one long podcast, I will release 4-5 short ones to keep it simple!
Here is the first one! One of the most common biases - Anchoring bias. Usually, the first piece of information we hear sets the tone or, worse, "baseline" for further rounds of negotiation.
Weak negotiators will then focus on making only incremental changes on the first anchor offer (like 30% discount / 50% discount etc.) and hence over relying on this! I have shared my opinion on how to keep yourself in check or handle the Anchoring bias in a negotiation!
