We live and work in a busy world in which there is little time to read, watch or listen beyond the headlines.

Hello, my name is Iain Campbell-McKenna, and this is “Procurement in 5-minutes.” That’s right, in 5-minutes I promise to tackle some of the biggest challenges and deepest questions our profession and industry face on a day-to-day basis.

In today’s Procurement in 5 minutes, I am thrilled to be joined by Robert Semethy, the CPO at Erste Group Bank.

Robert has been in procurement for over three decades and believes that training is vital to procurement’s growth. But, despite the importance of skills development in procurement, there has been a substantial and long-term decline in the volume of employers that regularly train their teams. Robert highlights this on-going problem and is the perfect person to answer the question:

Is procurement neglecting training and development?
