When we started Smart Consulting Sourcing, we weren’t sure exactly where it would lead.
Today, it gives us immense pleasure to see that SCS has become a valuable resource for Procurement Leaders. It's hard to believe that it's been 100 episodes already, but time really does fly when you're having fun.
With that in mind, we are presenting this special episode to recall and relive the little victories of this awesome journey, albeit the fact that we had our share of rainy days as well!
I have Laurent -- the chairman of Consulting Quest, with me to anchor the conversation with his signature style, laced with inimitable wit and unmatched sense of humor.
So, whether you've been with us from the very beginning or you're just joining us now, we hope you enjoy this special episode. Do let us know what you found inspiring or made you smile!
