The Seven Gambits of Highly Defective Buyers is a darkly funny, painfully accurate how-not-to guide to modern procurement life – a world of endless meetings, shifting priorities, and the comforting illusion that someone, somewhere, has a plan. Through a cast of gloriously flawed characters, the book exposes the profession’s most familiar bad habits with sharp humour and insider precision. Featuring over 100 original illustrations, it skewers business-book clichés, organisational chaos, and the everyday realities of procurement, project management, and corporate life. Part comedy and part therapy, it proves that sometimes the best way to learn from our profession is simply to laugh at it.
