This session will provide an overview of the importance of applying the Business Partner Engagement model throughout the sourcing lifecycle process in order to raise the value of Sourcing and create a greater impact on Profit & Loss (P&L). The presenters will profile how this strategy is applied within their respective organizations to: proactively engage stakeholders; drive meaningful conversations; and provide a holistic view of supplier cost, risk and performance. In addition, tools and processes to address risk management and governance, such as supplier portfolio management, opportunity identification, and deal summaries for the Finance department will be profiled.
