Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the characteristics of the federal procurement work force in seven civilian agencies to determine whether the employees had the necessary skill and training to effectively manage and administer federal acquisition programs. GAO found that: (1) published data on the federal procurement work force was inadequate because of a lack of formal definition of the procurement work force; (2) while there were differences of opinion among agency officials as to who should be included in the work force, the Departments of Commerce and the Interior included only employees in contracts and procurement, purchasing, and procurement clerks and assistants; (3) both the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) included individuals specialized in contracts and procurement or purchasing, and military officers and enlisted personnel who worked in procurement; (4) both FAI and OFPP excluded procurement clerks and assistants in their definitions of the work force because those were support staff; and (5) while the Departments of Energy and State, the Veterans Administration, and the General Services Administration included contracts and procurement, purchasing, and clerks and assistants in their definitions of the procurement work force, the Tennessee Valley Authority included only personnel in its purchasing division. GAO also found that: (1) the FAI information system could not identify contracting officers because the system contained lists of individuals within 28 other occupational series; and (2) OFPP and FAI officials believe that it is not necessary to refine the existing procurement work force database because such information is already available throughout the agencies.

Book excerpt: In the novel The CPO: Transforming Procurement in the Real World, we meet Thomas Sutter, a German-American living in Dusseldorf and working as a procurement manager for a major global automobile manufacturer, Autowerke. On a chance encounter while flying to Chicago, he meets the CEO of Heartland, a major food company in the U.S. Sutter impresses the CEO with his knowledge and, after a whirlwind courtship, he joins Heartland as its new Chief Procurement Officer, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Hired to transform procurement at Heartland, Sutter has an enormous challenge: to bring its procurement practices into the 21st century and save the company $5 billion. Despite the knowledge and experience he gained at Autowerke, Sutter fights over the next 18 months to find his place at Heartland, institute world-class procurement models and methods, win over the procurement teams and senior executives, and meet his goal. At first, his reputation--and his marriage--suffer, along with the company's overall sales and revenue. Can he pull a rabbit out of the hat? The CPO: Transforming Procurement depicts the real-life challenges of transforming procurement, while demonstrating the benefits of innovative procurement and leadership methods. Written by global thought leaders in A.T. Kearney's procurement and supply management practice--consultants who have helped numerous companies chop billions of dollars in costs out of their procurement budgets--The CPO will prove invaluable for those in purchasing and procurement. It will also present essential information to those in the C suite looking for ways to boost profits and productivity. The CPO: Portrays best-in-class, real-life, actionable methods to turn procurement into a function that can save billions and improve the bottom line. Provides a fun way to learn essential lessons in procurement and change management. Shows how rejecting victimhood in all its aspects leads to personal and business success. Presents lessons in novel format--like The Goal, Who Moved My Cheese, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, and others--to engage you and show techniques in action.
