The other day I wrote a post about the procurement process here. It may have been born out of some frustration and while I feel it’s fairly accurate, maybe it’s a little one sided in its depiction.

While having a conversation today about the contract approval process, one that didn’t go particularly well I might add, I was reminded of a few times when they really came through for me. There have been some fast turnarounds on contract extensions and a desire to help me meet my deadlines.

I can appreciate that. It’s good that they ultimately have my back.

Unfortunately I still feel like the process is sometimes harder than it should be. It’s also hard for anyone else to have the same sense of urgency I feel about my own projects. I completely get that. It’s just a difficult situation to be in. For both sides.

I’m not sure how to make things runs more smoothly or efficiently though.
