Yesterday was a really special day, celebrating and supporting Annalisha Noel, MCIPS and The Procurement Plug inaugural Elevate Event in Manchester. The energy in the room, and the sharing of knowledge from panellists to participants was really fantastic, and it was a pleasure to deliver a short behavioural negotiation workshop. I loved hearing from Oliver Jones about how AI is coming for our tasks, not us, all of the panellists' wisdom and getting to meet fabulous procurement folks like Luke Tomlinson, Susannah Gooch Jyothi Hartley Marc Kelly Hasan Bilgin, Executive MBA Zerrin Akkus Silvia Putoi Fraser McBeth Adwoa Owusu-Banahene MCIPS MEng PRINCE2 Fleur Summers (MCIPS) Christopher Robinson (MCIPS) Chartered Miranda Gordon Josh Caple Dmitry Yumashev Mick Ramsden MCIPS Dony Jess Mathews and everyone else that I may not be connected with yet on LinkedIn. If you weren't there, frankly you missed out and I look forward to seeing what the Procurement Plug does next, as I am hugely passionate and supportive of the mission to elevate procurement careers. Thank you Annalisha for having both myself and Sarah Phillips and putting together a fantastic group of people - I think you can see from the photos how much I enjoyed myself :-)
