Notas del editor
Welcome and introductionOpen to other ideas here, but I planned to open by polling the audience, for the buyers in the audience, by a show of hands…“How many sellers in the audience use linkedin in some fashion to identify or network with potential buyers”?“Now the same question to the buyers in the group…how many of you use linkedin in your buying efforts in some way”?In looking at the strategic sourcing and “what’s next”, we at Ariba have worked extensively with Ardent Partners, a fast growing independent research and consulting group. Ardent points to 3 key requirements for any company interested in better managing their sourcing function: 1) You must have broad and deep visibility into your spend with the ability to take action on the information this spend provides to build sourcing pipelines, better monitor compliance, and so on.2) Processes must be reviewed and improved for greater efficiency and effectiveness in the sourcing process, and3) Improved collaboration is a must. The rate of innovation in business today is unrivaled in any time in history. The reality is that innovation is taking place outside of your company’s four walls – in within your supply base. You must be able to harness this innovation to build and maintain competitive advantages. It isn’t just about savings anymore. CPOs are realizing this…we’ll talk about that in a few minutes…
