We help you make procurement successful

At Positive Purchasing we know that successful procurement is more than buying tech or training the team. Working with the senior team, we ensure results by helping establish the right conditions for success, establishing good governance and creating the systems and structure needed to implement strategic procurement initiatives.

THE POSITIVE PURCHASING DIFFERENCE

We enable strategic procurement. We excel at this because of our deep understanding of procurement and how to make it a major contributor to organizational success. What sets us apart? Five things:

1 - WE SET THE BENCHMARK

We set the benchmark for modern strategic procurement with the most comprehensive and globally recognized suite of procurement methods that define the way leading companies around the world do procurement. These are documented in the award-winning books by our CEO and founder Jonathan O’Brien and taught on Procurement programs in universities worldwide.

2 - EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE

4 - PEOPLE > PLATFORMS > PERFORMANCE

Unlike others, we don’t just do procurement SaaS platforms. We’re also not just a procurement training and consultancy provider. We know that real procurement transformation requires a holistic, end-to-end solution that brings together the most established and proven methods and technology, with people development and change management to establish a new, lasting, high performing function.

5 - " THE BEST PROCUREMENT TRAINING AROUND"

One of many accolades from the 15,000+ procurement and negotiation professionals we have trained in global organizations over the last 21+ years.
