Procurement Outsourcing is it right for you?
 
Outsourcing is often overlooked but can be rewarding.  Julia Cambage and Tracy Declerk from Procurement Australia will identify the four key areas that need to be addressed when considering procurement outsourcing:
 
  • What is the potential for procurement outsourcing in your business.
  • How do you develop a prescriptive model enabling success
  • What is good outsourcing strategy and practice, and
  • Execution and relationship management.
 
They will also be providing real world examples of what it looks like when you get it right!
