I have long been a proponent of hiring interns. We actually have two working for The Mpower Group this summer, Kevin (entering Notre Dame in the fall) and Allison (entering Boston College in the fall). You will hear from each of them this summer as we are requiring them to write a blog post for us (they are scared to death by the way, which is great 🙂 ). There are so many benefits for both the intern and the hiring company, one of which is an increase in competency.

We have always felt that the goal of any sourcing process MUST be to select the best supplier possible and develop a relationship that will drive mutual value creation – it’s not to find the cheapest supplier. Unfortunately, most sourcing processes and related technologies absolutely reverse the priorities.

As we are working “in the weeds”, every day, we often lose sight of how critical our function is. We, at The Mpower Group, do a lot of Strategic Sourcing and Supply Chain Management training as one of our service offerings because WE KNOW the value of a strong Supply Chain. I guess it has just taken the rest of the world a little time to catch up . . . . . .
