A Primer on Building and Executing Category Strategy

A Primer on Building and Executing Category Strategy

The SIG Resource Center is moving to The SIG Community. If you are a SIG Member, or enrolled in SIG University, and don’t have access yet, you can do so here. Already have access? Log in and visit the new SIG Resource Center.

Have you been sourcing the same indirect categories year after year? Does it feel like you’re running out of ways to drive savings and bring exciting new value to your company? If this is starting to sound familiar, it may be time to develop and execute your first category strategy! We will share how to get started, assemble the right team, leverage templates and put the strategy into practice. Oh, and since we have screwed up (a lot) along the way, we’ll help you avoid the same pitfalls.

Topics covered in this session included:

  • How to build a category strategy
  • How to turn the strategy from paper into action
  • Where you might get stuck and how to avoid it
