The ABCs of RFXs: Knowing when to use which competitive bidding methods (IACCM, Vested)

March 16th, 12pm ET

A late addition to the events calendar! Kate Vitasek (author of the Vested series of books and Strategic Sourcing in the New Economy) will walk through the traditional RFx’s as well as some you may not have heard of, like Request for Solution or a Request for Partner. With Kate’s background in ‘Vested Outsourcing’ it comes as no surprise that the less well known RFx models are collaborative in nature.
