How To Do More with Less in Procurement

Inside Public Procurement: Heroic Stories from the Frontlines

How many procurement pros cringe when they hear “do more with less”?

You’re far from alone. Tightening operations budgets, hiring challenges, tech struggles, lack of buy-in—these are all things stressing everyone in public procurement out.

We recently had the opportunity to get together with Bonfire clients at our Atlanta, Georgia User Meetup and talk about the concept of “do more with less”. Our panelists—Lynn Lewis, Procurement Team Lead for Henry County Public Schools and Arnita Watson, District Coordinating Supervisor - Purchasing at Clayton County Public Schools—had a lot to say about this.

From navigating the marriage of new tech and legacy systems, to implementing and enforcing best practices, to being strategic about workload distribution, we cover a lot in this chat.

Listen in to hear these seasoned public procurement veterans give their take on tackling these challenges for smoother outcomes.
