Procurement, Undermined
This is what "Business as usual" looks like:
The same problems repeat at every renewal.
Business has a need for speed, bypasses procurement, and when they do reach out the request is an emergency.
Contracts signed, with no accountability for realizing value post signature.
QBRs are run by your suppliers as a masked sales pitch for more business.
Suppliers know your stakeholders, better than you do!

Rewire Procurement - The Book
Stop being the "Department of No." Start building the future of your organization.
In the age of instant digital transactions, everyone is a buyer. Marketing has the credit cards, IT has the logins, and the business has a "need for speed." If the rest of the company is already clicking the "buy" button, does Procurement still have a job?
The answer is yes—but it’s not the job you think it is.
For decades, Procurement has been trapped in a triple-identity crisis: the Policeman who enforces rigid rules, the Clerk who just pushes paper, or the Ghost who is completely ignored until an audit fails. These models do not work in the modern organization. If you try to be a bottleneck in a world of instant transactions, the business will simply find a way around you.
Rewire Procurement, provides a tactical playbook for transitioning from a transactional back-office function to a strategic powerhouse: The Commercial Architect.
In this simple, no-nonsense transformation guide, you will learn how to:
Break the Language Barrier: Stop talking about "Compliance" and start selling "Risk-Free Speed" to your stakeholders.
The Rewire Framework: Master the four pillars of modern procurement—Strategic Alignment, Process Design, Digital Ecosystems (MDM), and Talent Culture.
Move from "No, because" to "Yes, If": Learn the linguistic shifts that turn Procurement from an obstacle into a safety net.
Navigate Real-World Scenarios: Get step-by-step "Rewires" for Spend Transformation, RFP Agility, Data Purification, and Supplier Relationships.
Procure for People and Planet: Integrate Sustainability into your ROI without sacrificing the bottom line.
This book is a roadmap for all Procurement professionals looking to transform. It’s time to Rewire.

Hi, I’m Leroy
Over the last decade, I have navigated complex corners of non-traditional roles in procurement, such as Value Engineering (cutting costs by design), Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), Vendor Management & Modern Slavery compliance. I don’t believe procurement should just be a back-office function; I believe it is the architect of organizational value.
My mission is to help people and organizations rewire procurement by sharing the ideas to get there.
