Is This A Story?<br />

We had a problem with our whole purchasing<br />

process. I was convinced that a great deal of money<br />

was being wasted, <strong>and</strong> that it would con;nue to be<br />

wasted – that we didn’t even know how much money<br />

was being thrown away. I thought we had an<br />

opportunity to drive down purchasing costs, not by 2<br />

per cent, but by something in the order of $1 billion<br />

over the next five years. A change this big meant a<br />

big shiE in the process. This would not be possible,<br />

however, unless many people, especially those in top<br />

management, saw the opportunity, which for the<br />

most part they did not. So nothing was happening.<br />

If you answered “no,” you are correct. If you answered<br />

“yes,” you are not alone. It is a common mistake that we<br />

see our workshop participants make. See why on the next<br />

page.<br />
