Are you Considering Agile Sourcing? | Webinar

WEBINAR

Are you considering agile sourcing?

April 25, 2023

4:30 AM EST | 9:30 AM BST

Join Everest Group Partner, David Rickard, on the 25th April at 09:30AM – 11:00AM in this virtual event as the panel looks at examples of those who have successfully implemented agile sourcing and the challenges they have faced along the way.

Agile sourcing is a strategy that prioritises flexibility, speed, and collaboration between the sourcing team and supplier. It is something all procurement and sourcing professionals are aware of as a concept and many claim to understand to a greater or lesser degree. But how many know the right time and place to implement it?

To implement an agile sourcing strategy, companies should focus on developing the skills of their sourcing team, investing in technology that supports collaboration and real-time communication, and establishing clear processes and guidelines. First and foremost it’s important to understand the key fundamentals of agile sourcing and then to pick the right projects to take down this path.

Everest Group Partners Jimit Arora and Amy Fong will be presenting at the event in a topic-based roundtable discussion titled, Controlling the Sprawl: A Template for Managing Your IT Tail.

As organizations go deeper into digital transformation, the portfolio of IT suppliers has become broader.

In this interactive roundtable, you will gain insights and participate in a discussion on taming the IT tail.

Questions to consider during this roundtable discussion include:

How can sourcing articulate the value of portfolio rationalization with stakeholders?
Which frameworks work best for analyzing and guiding decisions on IT categories?
When should we let go of the traditional sourcing lever of “volume consolidation” and look for rational ways to expand the portfolio?

You will learn:

How to define and promote the benefits and drawbacks of portfolio rationalization
How a rationalized supplier portfolio can be impacted by changing market trends
How to build a framework to guide stakeholders in evaluating IT tail spend
Strategies to turn legal from the “deal preventor” to the “business enabler”
