Easy to follow, well-made course. While this class by James Meads might not apply much to base level procurement who have no authority in large decision making, I think these lessons should be viewed by stockholders/decision makers and I encourage procurement staff to try and make this happen within their companies. A wealth of knowledge and advice to be had - like having a very thorough tech consultation at a microscopic fraction of the cost.
