    Sourcing and procurement is becoming more critical

    Not only are we more reliant on suppliers than ever, but also how we use suppliers is changing: more than 70% of sourcing and procurement professionals report using suppliers to tap into new-in-kind technology services and/or something outside of their organization’s core business model. It’s the role of sourcing and procurement to unlock new value from the supply base and protect the organization from future disruption.
