Redefining the Role of Strategic Sourcing

In a role that contributes to all business functions, sourcing professionals are required to consistently offer evident value for the organizations they support. Vice President of Professional Services, Joe Payne, reiterates how the particular role of strategic sourcing and procurement need to define their efforts to influence the perception of procurement from professionals of other functions in their organization. The industry has grown from the traditional concept of procurement and sourcing, and the experts in these areas need to keep up with the new definition of their role, while encouraging C-suite and stakeholder support for the opportunities procurement can create for the organization.
