Category Management (CM) is taking our professional community by storm. If you are not seriously moving toward Category Management TODAY, you may be falling WAY behind. The ability to align Stakeholder Value Drivers with CM is finally allowing us to become far more strategic and headed to the C-Suite. Adapted from the retail sector, CM has fundamentally shifted our role and provides a path to adding significant strategic value to the corporation and shed the stigma of being nothing more than cost-cutters. What needs to happen within your organization to make the transition to CM?

Main Challenges:
• What is it and how is it different from Strategic Sourcing – the battle rages on
• Going beyond TCO and embracing Stakeholder Value Drivers
• “Selling” the Category Management process to your stakeholders
• Developing strategic competencies that enable you to be a strategic business partner
• How to adapt your strategic sourcing process to a Category  Management framework
• How to accelerate the transition so you don’t keep getting further behind
• Understanding resistance – where it comes from and how to convert it into support
• Adoption, Adoption, Adoption – the three most important words in Benefit Realization

Discussion Points:
• Difference and synergy between Category Management and Strategic Sourcing
• Measuring and delivering Value Drivers that makes your stakeholders cheer – not question your value
• Converting your stakeholders to become your Sponsors and Champions
• Change Management techniques that work in a Shared Service context
• Uncovering the Value Drivers of the Stakeholders that consume your spend category
• Understanding all the value levers available (e.g. strategic sourcing, SRM, GPO, value engineering, demand management, enable new markets, etc.) and how to apply them

Join us for an exploration of Best Next Practices gathered from successful Transformations to Category Management and lessons learned of things to avoid. Establish connections with others on the same journey and help shape the thinking and direction of Category Management.
