This workshop will walk participants through “speed-to-source” tools, which are designed to assist Strategic Sourcing Managers in saving time and money, while enhancing the quality of their sourcing decisions. We will address methodologies for building a short list of potential vendors and analyzing them thoroughly. This includes exploring strategies for discovering and comparing vendors—not just the well-known big names—but the local and niche providers, too. We will also showcase detailed market analyses to understand the art of “the possible,” including: what to in-source, what to outsource, potential benefits and how to use focused case studies to quickly benchmark against your peers.
Topics in this session included:
- How to use available tools to save time and money while enhancing the quality of sourcing decisions
- How to build a short list of vendors, including factors and attributes to focus on
- How to use case studies to research the market
