• Tania believes that there is an urgent need to train procurement professionals just as much as sales professionals, and that improved resources are critical to the progression of the procurement profession globally. It is with such convictions that Tania Seary founded Procurious. 
• Their recent survey has revealed that in spite of the upheavals due to the pandemic, the supply chains remained relatively stable and unaffected. No consumer had to face empty shelves or indeed any shortage of requirements. This goes to show how agile and resourceful the supply chain professionals have become, being able to quickly respond and reorganize. 
• In today’s B2B procurement it is imperative to look at tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers, to assess and ensure that the suppliers of first level suppliers themselves do not fail. Suppliers, reciprocally, must become transparent and disclose their logistics chains to their customers as well.
