• Consultant and Speaker

  Hansen Consulting & Seminars Inc.

  (Logistics and Supply Chain industry)

  May 2007 — Present (2 years 7 months)

  Conference Speaker
  Writer (Columnist, White Paper Consulting)
  
  Over the past 3 years I have spoken extensively throughout North America and the United Kingdom.
  
  My seminars address topics ranging from green procurement to the industry myths that continue to undermine supply chain effectiveness, to the expanding role of the purchasing professional in the emerging global economy.
  
  While seminars are normally available in a 90 minute, 1 or 2-Day format, they can also be customized to your organization’s specific time and content requirements.
  
  Most people consider my speaking style to be very “Real and Relatable,” providing a unique lens through which they can both understand and effectively respond to their particular situation.
  
  The Procurement Insights Blog (http://procureinsights.wordpress.com/) which was launched in May 2007 now reaches 300,000 syndicated subscribers each month worldwide and is available in multiple languages including Chinese and Spanish.

• Lead Facilitator

  KM Value Network (Ontario Knowledge Cluster)

  (Think Tanks industry)

  January 2008 — January 2009 (1 year 1 month)

  The Ontario Knowledge Cluster brings together diverse and seemingly disparate avenues of thought leadership and practice proficiency with the intent of establishing a collaborative process through which real-world solutions to complex problems can be achieved.
  
  To be successful both today and for many years to come it is important that the Cluster be built on this foundation of true collaboration and cooperation in which each member leaves a unique imprint on the evolution of collective outcomes. This is one of my primary mandates as lead facilitator.

• Chief Architect

  CATAAlliance Supply (Chain) Practices Hub

  (Think Tanks industry)

  December 2007 — January 2009 (1 year 2 months)

  Through a variety of medium such as my seminar series and various articles, papers and columns I strive to present the ideas and insights that will empower professionals to think outside of the framework of that with which they are most familiar.
  
  It was in this spirit that I introduced the Procurement Insights Blog in May of 2007 (http://procureinsights.wordpress.com/)
  
  It is also with this same level of enthusiasm that I have accepted the role of Chief Architect for the CATAAlliance Supply (Chain) Practices Hub. CATA (http://www.cata.ca/), is recognized as the thought leader in terms of industry best practices, serving a core membership base of 28,000. The Supply (Chain) Practices Hub represents the next logical step in delivering value to both private and public sector professionals throughout the world.

• President

  e-Procure Solutions Corp.

  (Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Logistics and Supply Chain industry)

  August 2002 — May 2007 (4 years 10 months)

  Motivated by the identification of the 2 commodity characteristics discussed in the Acres of Diamonds paper (in particular the Dynamic Flux findings), I led a development team that investigated the potential to utilize advanced algorithms as a means of reliably increase purchasing autonomy at the local level while still adhering to centrally established objectives.
  
  The research was partly funded by the Government of Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development - SR&ED program. The end result was the introduction of the first algorithm-based purchasing tool that enabled a major public sector organization to realize a 23% cost of goods savings annually over a period of several years, while simultaneously reducing the total number of centralized buyers required to manage a major contract to 3 from an original 23.
