Tips for Effective Marketing Strategic Sourcing

This event is over.

Too many procurement professionals confuse "purchasing" with strategic sourcing and too many marketers don't understand how to justify their purchases strategically, using the language and analyses of finance.

The best procurement and marketing professionals work from a common framework to maximize value. They deliver both price efficiencies and effective marketing by prioritizing the focus of their finite human and financial resources. They systematically identify, size, and then capture the most promising opportunities by leveraging demand management, strategic substitution, and waste elimination in addition to RFPs and price related strategies.

In this webinar, Chuck Hatsis, President of Surge Consulting (http://www.surgeconsulting.com/), will teach you strategic sourcing techniques used by strategy consultancies that marketers and procurement professionals can use to deliver value to their organizations and form solid working relationships with each other.
