Advanced Category Management: Organizational Building Blocks

This episode is the first in a two-part series considering Category Management: what we can do not only to implement Category Management but also do so in a way that is sustainable over the long term.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why Lynn and Chris believe that Category Management is a fundamental shift in the way an organization approaches procurement rather than an extension of the sourcing process.
• The journey to building a sustainable category management program and the failure modes that impact an organization's ability to launch, sustain, and scale.
• A deep dive into the building blocks of strategic category management, covering vision process, governance, and capabilities.
