Innovations have redefined the way we do just about everything—from getting information to traveling to buying. On a corporate level, innovation has redefined procurement and outsourcing as well. Over the past 20 years, the sourcing and outsourcing industry has evolved dramatically. Procurement has shifted from being a back-office clerical function to becoming a strategic one that creates shareholder value. Similarly, outsourcing has stayed at the forefront of the news, sometimes being touted as the holy grail and other times showcasing its demise on the horizon. This presentation demonstrates the power of innovative thinking and some of the more radical transformations we’ve seen this century. It also showcases some of the trends SIG is seeing in procurement, sourcing and outsourcing, how they will continue to revolutionize the space, and how smart organizations will capitalize on those innovations to stay ahead of their competition.
