About

A practical, independent perspective on sourcing, supply chain, procurement and the decisions that connect them.

Why I Started Supply Chain Best Practices

Procurement and supply chain have more information than ever. Better decisions are harder, not easier.

This site is a place to explore the ideas, tradeoffs and decision frameworks that help turn information into action. The focus is on useful questions, evidence and tradeoffs, not headlines.

Independent Perspective

I bring a background in procurement, optimization, analytics and technology, along with a long-standing interest in how better decisions get made in complex environments.

The goal is to examine how better sourcing and supply chain decisions actually get made.
