Strategic Sourcing

Tapping and integrating the full capabilities of your key suppliers is fundamental to achieving and sustaining competitive advantage.

Traditional buy/sell relationships are ripe for further competitive differentiation and value contribution. Radical realignment of customer expectations, ways of doing business and collaborative behaviors are accelerating supply chain integration and contribution.

Integrated Strategies can help. We start by working with your team to understand;

		What is the current state of your sourcing operation?
		What are quantifiable (financial) and qualifiable (customer satisfaction) improvement opportunities?
		What are the philosophies, tools, techniques, collaborative behaviors and road map to achieve your full potential?
