Built by a Marine Officer Who’s Led Teams Through Pressure, Change, and High-Stakes Missions
I Spent 20 Years in the Marine Corps Preparing Leaders to Perform Under Pressure —
Now I Do the Same for Public Procurement.
After retiring from the Marine Corps, I spent the next 15 years helping procurement and supply chain professionals lead with clarity in high-stakes environments.
Backlogs. Budget cuts. Rising compliance.
Now AI is rewriting the rules — fast. And many procurement teams are being told to “modernize” with no support, no tools, and no margin for error.
I created the Procurement Performance Upgrade because I saw what was coming.
You don’t need another training. You need a tactical, AI-ready workflow system designed to deliver under pressure.
That’s what the OPS Framework™ is — and behind it is the Adaptive Advantage™:
A system to help directors evolve, protect authority, and maintain operational control — without exposure or tech chaos.
This isn’t theory.
It’s built from field-tested, results-driven execution — like everything I was trained to deliver in uniform.
No consultants. No new software. No certification required.
Just practical workflows that work inside real procurement departments — now.
AI is here.
But teams that adapt, lead.
Let’s make sure yours is one of them.

Procurement Strategist | Founder, The Procurement Performance Upgrade
Real Teams. Real Time Saved. Real Results.
How Public Procurement Teams Are Using This System to Cut Risk, Save Time, and Regain Control
RFP Completion
💼 RFP in 30 Minutes — Instead of 2 Weeks
A procurement manager used the workflow to deliver a full RFP in under 30 minutes.
That single win freed up weeks of capacity for their team.
“We’d never moved that fast. It gave us our time back.”
Compliance Review
📆 Compliance Review in 15 Minutes
— Not 3 Days
Beta team built an AI-powered Compliance Tool that:
Flagged risky language
Explained why it was non-compliant
Suggested corrected alternatives
Compliance review process dropped from 3 days to just 15 minutes
Cost Negotiation
💡 AI-Assisted Cost Negotiation Saves the Deal
Matthew Burke used the AI tools to:
Push back on a proposed supplier price increase
Reference PPI data instantly
Find an alternative product on the spot
His team retained budget control — and avoided a 15% cost spike.
