1:40 PM Skills Seminar: Not A Simple 1:1: Creating Baselines In Indirect Sourcing

Indirect sourcing is very unique as you're rarely ever buying the same thing twice. Whether your purchasing a software or a services, the requirements are constantly shifting based on business needs, timing, and context, making it almost impossible to have a like-for-like comparison for each deal. This skill seminar will walk through how procurement professionals can establish a meaningful baseline in indirect sourcing and evaluate deals when no two purchases are truly the same. 

Key takeaways: 
  • Establishing a standard for contracts and deals in indirect procurement 
  • Reframing traditional benchmarking approaches when no two purchases are identical 
  • Building practical methods to evaluate indirect sourcing decisions with consistency
