How to do RFP weighted scoring (RFP365, Art of Procurement)
September 13th, 2pm ET
If we are going to take on increasingly complex, strategic sourcing projects, procurement needs to learn how to incorporate non-price factors into supplier/bid ranking without allowing the decision making process to become subjective. In this webinar, Phil Ideson (AOP) and Dave Hulsen (RFP 365) will define weighted scoring, explain how to do it, and offer up reasons why it is worth your while. BTW: attend and you’ll also get a free Weighted Scoring eBook Guide and a scoring cheatsheet.

A few weeks ago, Spend HQ explained what to do when sourcing just isn’t delivering the desired ROI. This week they are backing up in the process to look at spend analysis – specifically, how to make sure your investment in spend analysis delivers for procurement the way procurement is expected to deliver for the organization. Join Spend HQ CEO Tom Beaty and Spend Matters’ Jason Busch to get the ‘philosophical ammunition’ you’ll need to demonstrate spend analysis ROI internally.

I’m fascinated by the idea and possibilities of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which is not to be confused with Artificial Intelligence (AI). That being said, they are related, and if you can combine them in the right way you will completely transform your outsourcing initiatives. Join SIG and Mayer Brown to hear about trends as well as how both strategic sourcing and outsourcing will be affected – two other perspectives that it is important to manage separately.
