Historically, procurement has tended to look at two linked but separate process cycles – the category management process and the purchase to pay process. But when we think about how we can achieve competitive advantage in our organisations, it is clear that suppliers must be at the heart of this.

In this session, we will explain what is meant by supplier lifecycle management, and how the different elements fit together. We will also discuss what this means in practice for procurement professionals – how might we change our processes, activities and thinking to take advantage of this approach?

Join Peter Smith, Managing Director of Spend Matters UK and ex-CIPS president, for either of our two global webinars on 9 March 2016, with one suitable for Europe, the Middle East & Africa at 10 am GMT and the other suitable for the Americas at 11 am EST.
