He has led many digital procurement transformations involving a wide array of systems, and witnessed firsthand the need for tools that adapt to each team’s maturity and needs.

In this interview, Patrick describes and defends his “provocative” approach to understanding the changes procurement needs to make:

Why he thinks procurement organizations are in an “adapt or die” moment and what that means
