Procurement Reimagined

In this episode of Procurement Reimagined, host Daniel is joined by Tom Rogers, Founder and CEO of Vendor Centric, a national consultancy specialising in helping companies take a systematic, risk-based approach to vendor lifecycle management.

Tom explains the importance of having a Vendor Management Office (VMO) and how aligning contract management and third-party risk can benefit businesses. He also touches on how to mitigate contract risks associated with contracts.
Tom advises, writes and speaks on the value of vendor relationships and how companies can use risk-based vendor management to unleash the power of those relationships within their organisation.
