"Strategic Sourcing: Walking the Tightrope in Developing Sourcing Strategy"
Strategic sourcing is a core activity in purchasing and supply management. It is a complex process requiring extensive knowledge and competence.
This presentation will focus on developing the sourcing strategy as a fundamental and logical process involving the application of tools by skilled, competent, and knowledgeable purchasers. Simply put, our focus will be on the “how to” in developing a sourcing strategy.
Topics that will be addressed include spend analysis, categorizing the best opportunities for sourcing group profiles, Porter’s Five Force Model and Sourcing Grids, establishing sourcing group portfolios and supplier portfolios, using the proper RFX format for sourcing, and making strategic sourcing the focal point for supplier negotiations.
