Is your organization struggling to bring value to your business when sourcing professional services? Then join this session, where we will outline a category strategy for using third parties to achieve professional services sourcing objectives at lower costs while sustaining or exceeding current service levels. We will describe our category strategy, which helps to create centralized visibility into current and planned spend in the professional services area. It also supports the development of a standardized approach in defining specifications while leveraging best-in-class practices from suppliers and other companies. Attendees can expect to learn from the approaches we adopted and key points to consider while implementing this strategy (i.e., change management, data analysis, approach, etc.). This session will be useful for procurement professionals who are managing professional services contracts for their organization.
