The first distinction worth noting in the description for this event is that category management is characterized as a program – not a process. This may be why so many procurement teams struggle with category management. Without a clear step by step process (like we have for strategic sourcing and contract management), it is hard to get started and know where to focus. In this event, GEP will talk about how to make category management a reality by partnering with the business and leveraging new technologies.
