In August 2007, more than 350 procurement professionals who participate directly in enterprise-level strategic sourcing activities for their companies took part in an in-depth Purchasing® magazine study that set out to define the specific business practices and processes that best position a strategic procurement organization to deliver long-term, sustainable corporate performance improvements.

Objectives of the study were to measure—

• How much value professional sourcing and procurement management organizations add – on average – to overall corporate performance
• Which processes and practices are associated with the greatest total-value creation over time, and
• Which processes and practices are being underutilized—and why

We’ve now finished analyzing the results and will unveil the findings in a special executive WEBCAST on January 9, 2008, starting at 2 PM US-EST/11 AM US-PST.

Moderator
Paul Teague, Chief Editor

Presenter
Anne Millen Porter, Business & Product Development Manager
