Titles ?

[Zen]

I was at a conference the other day organised by CIPS.

http://www.cips.org/ Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply. Was quite good. But the thing that amused me, was the CEO of the organsation talking about CPOs. Chief Procurement Officers!

How many companies really have one?
Wouldn't the head procurement person report through Supply Chain or Logistics anyway?

Just seems like every man and his dog expects to be a C Class Executive :-))
