@MathesCarrie Absolutely, but how often have all of us in public procurement defaulted from intentional partnering and strategy development to a path that requires less effort. Intentionality can make a big difference in the results achieved.

It’s a true privilege to be able to write the “Procurement Ponderable” column in Government Procurement magazine. I hope you’ll find this most recent column relevant and timely. Public procurement officials can drive sustainability and continuity of supply!

Public entities can assure continuity of supply for the goods and services they can’t do without, but they must collaborate among themselves and with suppliers to achieve this goal.

Resting is not a waste of time. It's an investment in well-being.

Relaxing is not a sign of laziness. It's a source of energy.

Breaks are not a distraction. They're a chance to refocus attention.

Play is not a frivolous activity. It's a path to connection and creativity.
