How life-anchor healthy habits can help us strive as leaders and as teams!This week I celebrated a health milestone of losing 15 kg since Easter (3months), although I’m happy to have dropped the weight what was more pleasing was my re-commitment to attend to my health life-anchors. What Is a life-anchor? A health life-anchor is something we identify and attend to that makes us happy, that energises us, and it doesn’t need to be fitness related, it can be learning a language, playing your musical instrument, gardening, reading a book or painting. Your ability to identify your 2-3 health life-anchors, prioritise and attend to them will go a long way in helping you show up each day as the best version of you!Leadership responsibilityAs leaders we have a responsibility to our own selfcare and to prioritise and attend to the wellbeing of our team, attending to your own and your teams health life-anchors is a positive way to bring together both intent and action in leading with wellbeing front of mind. As leaders we need to be curious, we need to understand what are the important healthy life-anchors of our team members and how can we as a team best support each other in committing to selfcare and healthy habits. I truly believe, Healthy teams, are Happy teams, and are High Performing teams!Finally, the key is to keep it simple and achievable, no more than 2-3 anchors – consistency and quality is more important than quantity.Good luck, live better and lead better!Shane 🙂 #selfcare #wellness #leadership #anchors #mentalhealth

Reconciliation is the responsibility of all Australians. Reconciliation requires the Australian community to recognise and respect the First Peoples of this land, to acknowledge the past, the ongoing inequalities experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples,and to commit to working together towards a more equal, inclusive and respectful future.A reconciled Australia is one where rights of First Nation Australians are not just respected but championed in all places that matter.We invite you to join us on this journey of Reconciliation.

Thank you to Australian Water Association for the opportunity to write an article of passion. The Australian Water and Power Utility sectors face unparalleled challenges, growing population, ageing infrastructure, supply chain volatility, and the need to move towards renewable energy solution. These challenges provide an opportunity to re-think methods of construction and procurement.Many water utility organisations have already moved towards more collaborative procurement and modern methods of construction, hopefully this article might encourage other organisations to follow this path forward.Shane#procurement #infrastructure #supplychain #awa #water #power #supplychain #purposedriven https://lnkd.in/gZm3UFa8

In modern-day procurement "Agility" is the key to success. The OCM Agile Procurement and Supply Chain Framework is a flexible and collaborative approach to procurement that focuses on outcomes, our framework achieves this by: - ability to adapt the procurement approach through a number of methods depending on the project - infrastructure, ICT Procurement, or Goods and Services Procurement.- ability to quickly and easily move through the framework that considers the value and risk of the procurement project.Agility is present in all aspects of our framework, not just sourcing - category management, SRM, contract management and supply chain operations framework have all been designed with "Agility" as the key design principle.For more information, please visit www.ocm.net.au or reach out directly to Shane Lamont - MCIPS, or Samuel King at .#procurement #procurementleaders #supplychain #agileprocurement #infrastructure #infrastructureprojects #purposedriven #ocm

Thank you to and Charlotte Payne for providing a wonderful MCIPS experience, however also my apology for not prioritising my MCIPS sooner.As an industry we need to continue to elevate procurement as a Thought Leader and Strategic Profession, this change can be achieved by increasing the number of MCIPS certified procurement professionals.As a procurement professional and leader it did take me too long to change my thoughts on the value of procurement professionals gaining MCIPS.However now I believe no matter where you are in your procurement and supply chain career, there is definitely self-value and value to the procurement profession in gaining MCIPS accreditation.Please give it some thought, and thank you everyone for your support!Shane

Only 10 days to go to Ozwater24!The role of the Water sector has always been important, water enhances our quality of life and increases positive social impacts and wellbeing.The 2024 Ozwater theme”, “Accelerating Action” builds on the great work of the Water sector but isalsoa cry to our community addressing the vital role water must play in the climate crisis of our current time. On a personal note, I’m so excited to be attending the conference, catching up with many of my industry connections and making new connections.Please come and visit the stand and say hello, we would love to hear how other organisations are “Accelerating Action” and share some of the work OCM are doing across the Water sector.Together, by sharing knowledge we can accelerate a powerful movement towards a sustainable water future.#ozwater #ozwater24 #acceleratingaction #ocm #procurement #procurementleaders #supplychain #infrastructure #purposedriven
