And while this is written from the Public purchasing point of view, much of it is still applicable to the private sector. Ok enough venting, so what is the answer, do we all just have to get leaner and meaner? It would be easy to say yes, but realistically, it is more like leaner and smarter. What then does that look like?It starts with having a comprehensive plan. That in it self is saying a lot.
