Overview
What is low cost country sourcing really all about? What are the issues that you need to consider when calculating the benefits of lower prices from overseas? What are the potential pitfalls? How do you start and where do you go?
Or as one senior procurement manager put it to me recently while researching this event – “Are there truly any Low Cost Countries these days?”
All of these questions and more will be answered at the 1st CIPSA Conferences Special Interest Forum on Low Cost Country Sourcing.
About the CIPSA Special Interest Forums
As most procurement professionals in the region will be aware, CIPSA Conferences have been producing a highly successful series of Strategic Procurement Forums for the last five years, including the CIPSA Annual Conference, The Category Management Forum, The Public Sector Procurement Forum and various regional Strategic Procurement Forums. These conferences have largely focussed on a broad range of key issues for the profession, as identified by the CIPSA Executive and the Steering Group.
However, given the broad nature of these programmes, there has not, until now, been the opportunity to examine specific issues in any great detail. This is where the Special Interest Forums come in. By concentrating the programme on a specific issue, the Special Interest Forums will provide a depth of content previously unavailable, allowing procurement professionals to get a much more complete understanding of what are often quite complex subjects.
I trust you find the programme of interest and look forward to seeing you at a CIPSA Special Interest Forum or Strategic Procurement Forum in the near future,
