The CEO guide to selecting effective suppliers

The outsourcing enterprise

Organisations that have the CEO and a multidisciplinary team involved in sourcing strategy and supplier configuration make more effective decisions. In this report we focus on the supplier selection process and acquiring the right supplier competencies and people. Our research consistently shows that where these supplier capabilities are absent, CEOs leave themselves exposed to significant problems –however good the strategic thinking was, and however strong the contract drawn up.
