From sourcing strategy to partnership Strategic Sourcing fundamentally decides at executive level on the position of the Business in terms of Strategy and Risk mitigation by leveraging on third party resources, assets, and skills. The key objective is to ensure stakeholder value in a measurable and sustainable way. It is about creating a flexible and adaptive enterprise using an extended enterprise model.
