Globalisation is reshaping the world and creating a truly dynamic business environment. It is confronting CXOs with opportunities and challenges that demand new ways of thinking and innovative strategies.
While global sourcing has gained traction as a cost-saving approach, only few companies have been able to tap its potential to deliver continuous, long-term results. The reason: challenges in embracing the right sourcing decisions.
Exploring sourcing options and choosing the optimum one for a business requires sourcing experience and expertise in multiple business contexts. The ability to bring in diverse perspectives, understand emerging trends and a detailed insight into the potential business impact, are all critical. Moreover, it is essential to validate these possibilities and new concepts for their relevance to the specific business context
