Everyone has an interpretation of what the ' all round entertainer' should be. The term once invoked the image of a singer who could dance a little, tell jokes and hold an audience's attention with anecdotes of his life and career. In my world, in order to wear this label successfully, the description of the ' all round entertainer' expands, with the ability to perform not only as an actor in films, television, and on stage, but also to direct, write books and plays, and even pen his own autobiography. The definition of the ' all round entertainer' is a generational conundrum. When I became a ' showbiz professional' in 1956, I found myself part of the end of the age of vaudeville, being lucky enough to learn from those who had been there and done that, and now I am wearing the same shoes as those who paved the way for me. Sadly, most of those contemporaries who shared the same journey have either shuffled off the mortal coil, or are in retirement. Now, with the departure of Ernie Sigley, Jimmy Hannan, Graham Kennedy, Stuart Wagstaff, Don Lane, and Bert Newton I find myself left alone now to carry the torch, hence the title of this book.

In Excellence in Procurement, we also gave our outline of a vision for procurement. Therefore, in this Procurement Strategy book, we will now take this vision forward, and show how to align an organisational corporate strategy with an organisation's procurement objectives. In doing this, we will take the view that the design and implementation of a Procurement Strategy must consider demand (and the customers), the organisation's processes and the supply (and the suppliers).
