Spend Matters’ Jason Busch Makes a Case for Strategy Shifts, Organizational Alignment,
and Technology Adoption

Wednesday, February 15, 2012
11:00 AM Eastern / 4:00 PM GMT

When it comes to matters of procurement and sourcing, Spend Matters and its executive editor Jason Busch have their finger on the pulse of industry dynamics and trends. Jason will share his extensive insight into the ways in which the challenges of 2011 have led to the evaluation of new sourcing strategies, organizational changes, and technology selection and adoption in preparation for 2012.

Generate new strategies or refine your existing plans after hearing real world examples of the impact and results achieved by innovative sourcing teams that have implemented some of the ideas presented during this webinar.

Join Jason Busch of Spend Matters, and Greg Holt of CombineNet, in this informative webinar to learn about:

  • Sourcing in volatile commodity and currency markets
  • How the European economic climate will affect global sourcing and supply chain activities
  • Renewed calls for near-shoring (i.e. “Made-in-the-USA”) –hype or reality, and the related sourcing reactions?
  • How evolving technology capabilities are increasing the capabilities of front-line sourcing and category managers
  • The evolution of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) -- factoring in quality, risk, materials compliance, regulation, CSR, etc.
