The purpose of this white paper is to help you transform your sourcing organization from being perceived only as technical experts to being respected as trusted advisors with unique skills. This white paper begins with research indicating that sourcing organizations and their customers both see value in this transformation. It then defines the role of a trusted advisor. Finally, it describes real-world examples of transformation within the sourcing organizations of Huntington National Bank and Bank of Montreal that demonstrate how teams can apply these practices within their own companies and achieve the same positive results.
