Because procurement deserves better than being the department everyone calls when something’s already on fire.

The Real Story (or Stories)
The Real Story (or Stories)
Every procurement person has that proverbial chip on their shoulder.
We get told we slow things down. That we don’t understand “the business.”
That our policies are red tape.
But anyone who’s been in the trenches knows the truth... procurement sees the cracks before anyone else. We spot supplier risks, cost leaks, and compliance gaps long before they turn into real problems. We’re not Chicken Little shouting that the sky is falling; we’re the ones who already built the shelter.
Maker Break Consulting exists for the teams and businesses who want to do things the right way, before it’s urgent, and for those who see procurement as a strategic lever above and beyond an administrative hurdle.
