Procurement thought for today..."The Fog (aka Uncertainty) of Public Procurement actions." Yes, it is a real thing. Do you know how to navigate in this environment... The great public procurement professionals, I know of many in Arizona public sector (past and present), know that COMPLIANCE is number one. Period. Now, what's next? - My Rule #1 of public or really private procurement too, "It depends." - My Rule #2, "Don't assume anything." - My Rule #3, "Ask great questions." - My Rule #4, "Ask for help...it is a sign of strength." - My Rule #5, "Try to find a COMPLIANT way to get the job done! Period." - My Rule #6, "Sometimes you do have to be the BAD GUY, and you will be respected for that. If not, look for another employer." - My Rule #7, "LISTEN, LOVE, RECOGNIZE, PROMOTE, and 100 percent SUPPORT your people and those who are part of the organization's procurement process at all levels, from initial need to proper disposal. The END USER, on the FRONTLINES, is the MOST CRITICAL person in this process." Side note, please consider researching Clausewitz' "Fog of War." It has a great deal of applicability to how to deal with unknown factors affecting battles and war. The big take away is that in most things in life, you only have about 60-70 percent of the information you need to make the right decision. Make sure you have identified the right "60-70 percent." Lol! #lovePublicProcurement #itdepends #dontassume #fogofwar #fogofpublicprocurement
