What Others Say

“There are lots of purchasing books out there, but none of them show how to create a lasting and sustainable Procurement brand. Procurement Mojo®, at last, provides an effective and definitive guide. Sigi Osagie’s vast Procurement experience shines through. Insightful, illuminating and inspiring!”

Jonathan Patrick

Former European Procurement Director, Sony

“Procurement Mojo® is extremely relevant and very well-written. Sigi Osagie hits the nail on the head; this book really resonates with my own experience. It convincingly lays out solutions to the difficulties and frustrations Procurement executives and practitioners face – engaging with stakeholders; trying to sell Procurement to the wider business; fighting for investment; and so on. Crucially, Sigi is absolutely right that ‘people’ are the number one factor. I loved the simplicity of the language and the sensible, clear-cut guidance – indispensable advice.”

Paul Farrow

VP Supply Management, Hilton Worldwide

“Sigi Osagie’s personal story of career success – from penniless, near-barefoot immigrant to global supply executive in fourteen years – is as inspiring as the knowledge he shares here. Procurement Mojo® is as much about Procurement success as individual success for purchasing people. Buy this book, read it, and you’ll be delighted!”

Ray Packe

Former Head of Global Purchasing, Marconi PLC

A great book with sound examples, shrewd approaches and loads of smart advice. Read it!”

James Cowley

Procurement and Supply Chain Director, Balfour Beatty Services

“True Procurement success is not about category management, e-sourcing and so on; it’s about building foundational capability, and Sigi Osagie explains this in a powerfully persuasive manner. Procurement Mojo® underscores the importance of the single most critical factor in creating sustainable success – people. This is an invaluable guide for Procurement professionals and senior executives who want more from their Procurement.”

Allan Stamper

David Bradley

Supply Chain Director, Moog Tritech

“Procurement Mojo® gets to the core issues – Procurement talent, stakeholders, and Procurement’s profile in the wider business. This book is superbly-focussed and engaging. With stories from his own remarkable career, Sigi Osagie pulls together the secrets of success in Procurement. This book should be compulsory reading for all Procurement professionals and senior executives responsible for purchasing.”

Chris Efstathiou
