Professional services are the new frontier in purchasing. An increasing number of procurement staffs are being given the services portfolio—and discovering new, complex challenges they haven’t seen with their direct-spend responsibilities. Learn about those challenges and hear how your peers are handling them at a special Webcast on June 10, 2009. A panel of seasoned services-procurement veterans will discuss:
- The unique challenges of sourcing professional services categories,
- Coping with pre-existing supplier relationships and emotional aspects,
- Managing key risks,
- Creative pricing strategies,
- Measuring and managing services supply relationships over time, and
- The economics and benefits of outsourcing services (including procurement) traditionally managed in house.
