What does the Strategic Sourcing Suites Second Edition include?
The product is a 60+ file digital playbook delivered by email within 24 business hours. It contains approximately 30-40 XLSX spreadsheets (calculators, dashboards, templates) and 20-30 PDF guides (runbooks, briefings, reference cards), organised into Platinum-Tier centrepieces, Getting Started, Self-Assessment, Requirements, Models, Processes, Performance, Governance, Sustainment, Advanced Topics, and Reference sections, plus onboarding notes.
Are you still navigating strategic sourcing with guesswork, risking missed savings, supply-chain disruptions, and costly audit findings? Without a proven framework, senior leaders and procurement consultants often waste months on ineffective analyses, expose their organisations to regulatory penalties, and fall behind competitors that leverage data-driven sourcing. The Strategic Sourcing Suites Second Edition is the decisive tool that turns those risks into measurable value by delivering a complete, ready-to-use playbook that guides you from diagnosis to implementation in days, not weeks.
