August 19, 2020 in Blog /by Brent Maas

It’s been said that communication is the single most important skill to the success of individuals in all aspects of life.  I often listen to the advice that great communicators have to offer, such as Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robins, John Maxwell, Les Brown, and others.

Ohio Schools Council Way Ahead of the Service, Value Curve

August 12, 2020 in Blog, Case Studies /by Brent Maas

The Ohio Schools Council is not your typical cooperative program. What sets them apart from other K12-focused councils of government and national public sector group purchasing organizations? OSC understands that delivering the greatest member value cannot stop at their menu of contracted suppliers. Giving members the ability to easily identify, compare and choose the products […]

The Five Qualities of a Highly Impactful Team

August 10, 2020 in Blog /by Brent Maas

It takes a team…! Whenever you see a successful leader, there is certainly a capable team beside that leader. As Dr. John C. Maxwell stated:  “One is too small of a number to achieve greatness”.

Is a Cooperative “Program” Really Necessary?

July 22, 2020 in Blog /by Brent Maas

The secret is out. The beans have been spilled. The emperor has no clothes. At least, that’s what a recent blog post from Mariel Reed, CEO of CoProcure, and the 2019 launch of the contract exchange site PPEx by cooperative industry veterans, Steve Hamill and Dave Trudnowski suggests to me. Like the boy who states […]

Grasping the Grail of Cooperative Program Differentiation

July 20, 2020 in Blog /by Brent Maas

Twenty years ago, when national cooperatives[1] were just starting to form and piggybacking contracts and participating addenda were being added to the procurement professional’s toolbox, there was a compelling value proposition that promised these cooperatives’ customers (“members”) great savings of time, effort and the greatest reductions in overall cost.

Adjust, Learn, Grow: Procurement and the Pandemic

July 15, 2020 in Blog /by Brent Maas
