Christopher Barrat is an established and well respected speaker, consultant and author
in procurement development skills. His knowledge is based on genuine experience in
the real world where he has been a sales manager as well as a corporate buyer and
purchasing director. He has seen the full range of commercial activity, from small to
large business interaction, and operated within a wide range of business types.

As a speaker he works in conjunction with the CIPS to deliver their ‘Masterclass’

series on Management and Leadership. He has been asked to speak four years running
at the annual CIPS conference, where his seminars have always scored very highly.

He hosts both the ‘Centre for Procurement Leadership’ and the ‘Purchasing Leaders
Strategic Forum’ both of which are run by CIPS to develop new thinking in the world
of purchasing.

In his procurement work he has lead major change projects, set up new supplier
management programs and directly trained procurement staff. The levels of activity
have been both strategic and at an implementation level.

Christopher will show despite many good efforts there is still good evidence that
procurement does not command the respect it should have – this presentation will
give you some key insights into how to change this
