of managers don't invest in their people's development. If yours is one of them, you have two choices: wait for that to change, or take matters into your own hands.

There is no average procurement professional. Stop training for one.

A capability accelerator for procurement professionals and teams who need to deliver results on their actual problem. Not the average problem a course was built for.

Every program, every session, every hot seat works on the live challenge in front of you. Not a curriculum written for someone else's career. And, for once, someone in your corner while you take it on.

One session, no cost, no pitch deck. Just the method, applied to a real problem you bring.

There is no average procurement professional

The content wasn't wrong. It just wasn't about you.

Most corporate training still runs on delivery models designed in the 1950s and 70s: built for an average professional, delivered to a room, measured by a feedback form. Meanwhile Google gives you frameworks in seconds and AI drafts a category plan before your coffee goes cold. Access to content was never the problem. The problem is that all of it was built for somebody else.

01

You did the course. You got the certificate. Monday morning looked exactly the same.

What's usually behind it

A curriculum written for the average procurement professional fits almost no one exactly, because the average procurement professional does not exist. It was never about you in the first place.

02

A supplier pushes back today. A stakeholder blocks the work today. The framework doesn't say what to do next.

What's usually behind it

Knowledge and judgement are different muscles. Judgement only forms against a real, specific, current demand. No workshop simulates the room you're actually standing in.

03

You're doing the work but not getting the credit. The analyst who delivers, not the professional trusted to lead.

What's usually behind it

Credibility comes from outcomes that hold up in executive conversations. Nobody taught you how to quantify impact in language a CFO acts on.

04

Your team ticked the training box last year. The capability uplift never showed up in the numbers.

What's usually behind it

Training providers teach skills without execution. Consultants execute without transferring skills. The gap between the workshop and the P&L is where the money died.

05

Decisions stall between meetings. Projects lose momentum. Nobody's holding the line week to week.

What's usually behind it

Teams don't lose momentum because they're incompetent. They lose it because nobody is unblocking decisions at 4pm on a Thursday when things actually stall.

06

You can't get clear answers internally. The person who's seen this before doesn't work at your company.

What's usually behind it

Most procurement professionals are solving problems alone that someone else has already solved 130 times. The pattern library exists. You just don't have access to it.

07

You know where you want to get to. 2IC, CPO, the commercial seat. Nobody around you can show you the path, and the years are passing.

What's usually behind it

Careers stall when progress depends on being noticed instead of being sponsored. What moves you is a track record of banked outcomes and people senior enough to vouch for it. Both can be built deliberately. Neither happens by waiting.

08

Your CV says purchase orders and process. The roles you want ask for commercial outcomes and board exposure. The gap looks unbridgeable from where you sit.

What's usually behind it

The gap closes on live work, not job titles. Deliver one quantified outcome, document it properly, and the story changes. Do it three times and the CV writes itself.

If you read one of these and thought "that's me" or "that's my team," that is enough.

Built on one idea

We don't teach the average version of your problem. We work on your actual one.

Every hot seat, every coaching session, every cohort sprint starts the same way: bring the real thing you are stuck on. The stalled stakeholder. The category strategy your CFO keeps sending back. The negotiation you are dreading next week. That is the material. Not a case study written for a textbook three years ago.

This comes from one operator's pattern library, not a content marketplace. 25+ years. 130+ live projects. $1.5B in documented impact. When you bring a problem to Procurement Superheroes, the person across from you has almost certainly seen your exact situation before, and knows precisely where it usually breaks.

The programs

Six programs. One method. Start where the problem actually is.

Corporate programs run now, by conversation. Individual membership opens by waitlist. We keep the mechanics off the public internet: full program detail, inclusions, and investment are shared on a call, or on request.

Million Dollar Week

Five weeks to a board-ready, fundable pipeline for next FY. Week one teaches the method, then four weeks of supported execution on your own spend.

The guarantee: identified value of at least 10x the investment, or we keep working until it's there.

The Practice

A community of practitioners who apply it, not just discuss it. Coaching, hot seats and a curated peer group, all pointed at the work you're actually stuck on this week.

The other door. Million Dollar Week builds a team's pipeline. The Practice builds the practitioner. Same method, same operator, different problem.

Angela had no procurement background and doubted she was cut out for the field. Within 12 months she was promoted. She is now Head of Procurement at Ebury, and her former manager confidently recommends her for any procurement and sourcing leadership role.

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.

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.

Who's behind it

Ashokk N Menon has spent 25+ years across procurement and supply chain, in industry and consulting, across 130+ projects and $20B+ of spend addressed. Procurement Superheroes exists because most procurement teams don't need another framework. They need someone who's actually run the play, in the room, until the decision gets made.

Beyond the programs

The ecosystem around Procurement Superheroes.

Procurement Superheroes builds the capability. Around it sits an execution arm for when you need the outcome now, and a content platform for the unfiltered version of how this work actually gets done.

Execution arm

That Procurement Project

Fractional CPO · Sprints · Audits

When the board needs the number this quarter and there's no time to build capability first, TPP embeds senior operators to deliver EBIT gains with the team you already have. In weeks, not months.

  • Embedded leadership and hands-on execution, accountable to results
  • 8 to 15% typical savings, documented to the P&L
  • Fees tied to outcomes, not hours

Content platform

Operating in the Margins

Newsletter · Podcast · Articles

Practical plays for procurement leaders, CFOs, and PE operators who want the unfiltered version. No consulting fluff. No theory. Just what actually works when margins are under pressure.

  • Weekly content on EBIT, procurement, and value creation
  • The Operator Edition: operator conversations, not keynotes
  • Case studies and frameworks from real engagements

Need it done, not taught? TPP delivers the outcome while Procurement Superheroes builds your team's ability to repeat it. Same operator, same method, two ways in. We'll tell you straight which one fits.
Straight answers

The questions people actually ask.

Is our data confidential?
Yes. Everything shared during a program stays between your organisation and Procurement Superheroes. We don't reference client names or spend figures externally without explicit permission.
We're a smaller team. Is this still for us?
If your addressable spend is under roughly $3M, the MDW guarantee is harder to support honestly. Start with Match Fit or a single Execution Clinic seat instead. We'll tell you straight if MDW isn't the right fit yet.
Do we need to hire anyone to do this?
No. Every program is built so your existing team does the execution. We teach, coach, and unblock. No added headcount, ever.
How is this different from a training provider or a general consultant?
Training providers teach skills without execution. Consultants execute without transferring skills. Procurement Superheroes programs do both, on a fixed guarantee where it makes sense. And That Procurement Project, our sister execution arm, exists for when you genuinely just need the work done, not the capability built.
