G8 2010: Global Sourcing Think Tank (ASIAN CHAPTER)
Eliminating The White Noise
8 Pioneering Sourcing Strategists Shape a Common Industry Agenda
You told us you were seeking clarity and guidance on your next strategic move to develop your sourcing model further and drive greater results. You said the challenge was not how to find advice, but who to listen to when there are so many differing voices on the definition of best practice. In short, everyone appears to have their own agenda. To combat this, SSON facilitated the G8: Global Sourcing Think Tank.
Established as a neutral platform to provide practitioners with an opportunity to understand the shared vision of the thought leaders driving the industry. Once again this year, SSON Asia members are voting to rate sell-side companies as thought leaders, and the winners have agreed to unite and help shape a common agenda by:
- Building a vision for the future goals of the industry based on common ground
- Challenging mainstream thinking and debating the options
- Stripping away the growing complexity of sourcing maps and models
- Explaining in lay terms the critical considerations you need to prioritise.
