The CPO Perspective

Procurement has never had better tools, data, or analysis — yet when decisions are challenged, the hardest part is rarely technical. The CPO Perspective brings together senior procurement leaders to share the wisdom, trade-offs, and real pressure moments that define decision-making at the top of the profession.Hosted by Richard Beaumont — former Army Officer, McKinsey consultant, and Chief Procurement Officer — each episode is a peer-level conversation exploring judgement, credibility, and the kind of thinking that holds up under board-level scrutiny.
