Innovations in Sourcing: Sourcing is Dead to Me
We were not strategic with our approach to global sourcing and customers complained about how difficult it was to do business with HERE. This had to change. We focused on three tenants - operational excellence, transformation and innovation. Our strategy: drive savings while generating new ideas and introducing technology that would streamline and automate our processes. A renewed energy and focus can be seen throughout the organization. We are now recognized as a trusted partner across the company based on our outcomes.
About the Future of Sourcing Awards
The 2018 inaugural Future of Sourcing Awards program recognized organizations that showed innovation, leadership and transformation in categories critical to the sourcing industry. The Awards brought together some of the brightest minds, the best insights and the most relevant topics and created a truly remarkable experience. In eight categories our esteemed judges selected three finalists from many innovations in sourcing, outsourcing, third party management, supplier performance, digitization, governance/compliance, talent management, and sustainability.
Each nominee was invited to discuss their innovations in a podcast for The Sourcing Industry Landscape as well as a Ted-style Talk at the SIG 2018 Fall Global Summit. Finally, each nominee was asked to provide a handout for their Talk.
