Suppliers are clearly essential to all organizations - or are they? We see a lot of emphasis placed on procurement policies, processes, or category management.
Supplier management (in its widest sense) might just be the “next big thing” in procurement, and the right approach can bring significant benefits for organizations.
Peter Smith (Managing Editor of Spend Matters UK/Europe), Jason Busch (Executive Editor, Spend Matters), and Richard Waugh (Zycus) will suggest some ways procurement executives can take action around supplier information management, systems, and processes to improve performance and realize these benefits. Participants can expect to:
- Understand why Supplier Management is becoming more central to procurement thinking
- Learn how a supplier focus can help procurement and procurement people position themselves better within their organizations
- Gain understanding of some best practice principles in supplier management that organizations can implement
