Future-proofing in the Public Sector

As with many other industries, educational institutions are being affected by the macroeconomic climate. However, unlike some others, these mission-driven organizations are playing a direct role in preparing the next generation of leaders—and many are turning to procurement to help continue to deliver strong programs that are setting the next generation up for success.

In this Supply Chain Management Review podcast, Group Editorial Director Michael Levans is joined by Danielle Kahler, Business Specialist for Purchasing for Lansing Public Schools, and Jon Laing, CFO for Lansing Public Schools, in a discussion on the evolving role procurement plays in their educational mission and how Amazon Business is giving their procurement operation a competitive edge for the future.
