Introduction

There is no difference in launching a book or any other product. That's why we've decided to write and publish the book about lean-agile Procurement in an agile way too. With this approach the current interests of the community, experiences from the field, etc. could be taken in consideration at any time.

Why 1'000 copies?

To measure the value of the book we will start pre-ordering from day 1 on. It's not about the money we earn, but the fact if stakeholders see the value of lean-agile procurement. Good to know, we provide a lifetime money-back guarantee for all pre-orders in case you'll be not happy with the final book.

SUMMARY

Classic approaches for procurement (RfI  RfP  RfQ) are expensive, less efficient and focus just on the produkt or services. Agile organisations tend to form different and factors like soft-skills, collaboration, culture, etc are as important as hard-factors. In other words classic procurement isn't really compatible to solve a complex problem like sourcing. So, what's to solution?-Mirko Kleiner, Co-Founder of flowdays.net presents a new, exciting simple and radical approach for procurement.
