Webcast on Strategic Sourcing

Add comment January 4th, 2008 David Bush - Iasta

Purchasing Magazine is broadcasting their findings from a strategic sourcing study that they collected. It should be an interesting webcast, which will hopefully stand out from the normal droning infomercials that seem to dominate the medium. As described by PM:

A recent in-depth study by Purchasing set out to document the innovation and problem-solving that high-performing strategic sourcing organizations have accomplished over the years. We tested some 65 practices and processes related to strategic sourcing to see which ones are used most frequently among the highest performing sourcing organizations. The results are revealing—and can provide a guide for any purchasing organization that wants to improve its performance and chances for success.

We’ll tell you those results in a WEBCAST on January 9, 2008 at 2 pm US-Eastern/11 am US-Pacific.

If strategic sourcing and procurement in your company feels more like a struggle than a success story—or, if you just want to find out which best practices and processes may be underused in your organization—this WEBCAST is for you.

This is sponsored by Zycus, so it seems that spend analysis would be the slant, but it could still have some valuable information. Registration is available here.
