Procurement Services
This diagram is the Procurement and Supply Cycle produced by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply. It describes the operations of procurement within most organisations.
​
We can advise upon, review, develop policy, strategy and procedures or manage directly every step of this cycle in whole or in part as you require.
​
With experience at all levels we can also provide these services at Commercial Director, Head of Procurement or Procurement Practitioner level depending on your organisational needs.
What's in it for you?
​
World Commerce & Contracting (formerly IACCM) have been saying for years that there is between 3 and 20% of an organisation's external spend budget leaking out into their supply chain due to poor commercial practice.
The average was revised last year to 8.6 %.
​
Let us help you check for leaks and plug any we find.
A Benchmark and a Roadmap for Improvement
Decades of experience reviewing, transforming and operating within Procurement functions enable us to quickly understand where an organisation is at, and what they need to do to improve. Many years spent receiving such advice from consultants enable us to deliver this message sensitively, clearly and constructively.
​
The ICOSA Procurement Maturity Model provides a view of your Procurement function across six key areas and assesses the current maturity level through engagement and documentation reviews. This includes our view on where on WCC's commercial leakage scale you are.
With minimal resources committed by the organisation we use our expertise and experience to produce a report detailing our findings, provide action plans for improvement and an overall benchmarked assessment. All in an affordable, constructive and positive approach.
​
Contact us today and we can chat about how your organisation could benefit from this review and answer the question 'Which platonic solid are you?'.
I was on the writing and design team for Private Sector by Head, Public Sector by Heart published by Black Dog Books. The book is a collection of articles written by procurement professionals for those involved in public sector procurement.
​
I drew all the illustrations inside too!

I have been involved in a number of book projects in this way with Harper Collins, Jessica Kingsley Publishing and more. I also created and taught several illustrations courses for the London Art College.
So if you have a book project, I can help.
Visual Thinking has become a profession in its own right, and whilst I will often incorporate it into my work, it can also be the main feature.​
​
Using visual techniques to add colour and interest to a workshop or meeting can be the difference between resistance and engagement.
Pictures can paint 1000 meaningful words.
Having a Commercial Director with transformation experience wielding the crayons is a powerful combination because I understand and can enhance what is being discussed.
