Why the standard approach fails

The training worked.Nothing changed.

55%of procurement professionals don’t feel they’re being developed by their manager.Jigsaw Employment Report 2025

Access to content was never the problem. Using it on the job was.

Which of these is you?

What we do instead

We don’t teach the average problem. We work on yours.

You bring the thing you’re stuck on this week. We work it with someone who’s been in your room.

Why the standard approach fails

Access to content was never the problem. Using it on the job was.

You’re the leader the C-suite trusts to deliver, and the one your team would follow anywhere.

Courses buy the 10. We work in the 90: your team, on the problems already on their desks. Training comes with no guarantee. Ours does.

55% of procurement professionals say their manager isn’t developing them (Jigsaw, 2025).Flip it. Be the top 1% leader whose team says that you are in the other 45%.

From the people who did it

What changed for them, in their words.Thinking that lasts a career. From a coach who counts your success as his.

Practitioners and leaders Ashokk has coached, on what moved.

It is hard to find the time to speak to my manager or reach out to mentors internally when you are deep in delivery. It is a safe space to talk about the struggles and the approach.

You could spend 3 to 5 years learning by yourself in an organisation. Or, you could learn from the people in the community and shorten your learning curve to 1 to 2 years.
Raymond ChenProcurement Manager, Packaging · Lactalis
I’ve learned to analyse different perspectives and categories of spend, and use that to develop the overarching strategy and drive results for the organisation. What I learned about structured thinking and solving complex problems continues to help me in my career today.
Adil FaroukHead of Procurement, Strategy & Operations · Crown Resorts
Ashokk genuinely cares about the development of the people he coaches, a rare quality in most mentors. He has great subject matter expertise, and he always believed my success was his success.
