Buyer Analytics

When it comes to topics such as politics or technology there are 1000's of blogs.   I haven't found too many purchasing related blogs.   Two that I have found are Common Sense Purchasing and Charles' Certification Blog.

Common Sense Purchasing

Common Sense Purchasing is written by Dr. Tom DePaoli.   Here is the link for the weblog http://www.commonsensepurchasing.com/purchasing-blog/   Make sure you take advantage of some free offers he has available.   The only problem with Tom's blog is that he doesn't blog enough.   Although the content that is provided, including his newsletter is of very high quality.

Charles' Purchasing Certification Blog

Most folks may think that the only way to obtain purchasing certification is through ISM.   Well Charles has a number of programs that you should check out.   Here is the link: http://www.purchasingcourses.com/purchasingcertificationblog.html   Charles also has a newsletter that you should consider.   He also has some great ideas on how buyers and sellers can use Rss feeds to improve productivity and communication.
