Introduction
Training course introducion / brief

Best-in-class companies recognize strategic sourcing as a value creator and consider it to be integral to their overall strategies for growth. To become a world-class procurement organization in the 21st century, a company requires various competencies that will enable it to effect strategic sourcing and transfer value throughout the supply chain from supplier to customer.

Strategic sourcing is far more than a simple allocation of business to suppliers by the purchasing function. It is a multi-functional activity that produces a plan of action for several years. Successful sourcing strategies are built on a rigorous analysis of the buy, the supply industry, and the fundamental drivers of value.
