    54: What the Police Can Teach Us About Negotiation

    Please note; this episode includes references to child sex offenders. In this unique and fascinating interview, Jonathan and Paul explore negotiating around establishing the truth, as well as finding ways to compel others to do something or give up something. So, it makes sense to get one of the ultimate experts in on interrogation and interviewing – a former detective from the UK police, who we can only refer to by his first name, Dave.

    53: Trump's Tariffs & Trade - A Procurement Show Special - A Podcast About Tariffs

    A podcast about Trump's Tariffs... It’s hard to escape the news of US President Donald Trump and the various tariffs he’s either been introducing, suggesting he’s going to introduce or that he introduces, then moves the date around. So, what does this mean for businesses inside and outside the United States? How are those in procurement supposed to react? And where will it all lead? And what are tariffs anyway? Jonathan and Paul discuss tariffs, the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, the relationships between the US, UK, Canada, Europe, Russia and China and take a close look at President Trump’s negotiation tactics. Essential listening before everything changes again…!

    52: Making What We Buy Sustainable

    In this edition Jonathan and Paul venture outside the world of procurement and focus on how organizations need to approach driving sustainability for what is made. They also look at how people in the roles of design, development and manufacturing might need to rethink how they engage with procurement. In the driving seat for this journey is Product Sustainability Director of TetraPak, Kristina Andric. She actually left procurement to take on this role. Jonathan is still recovering from this shocking revelation.
