To ensure that you are getting the right answers to the questions that you’re asking, make sure that you’ve assembled a suitable sourcing team. A post by Charles on eSourcing Forum entitled “Don’t Be The Sourcing Lone Ranger” addresses how to build such a sourcing team.

So remember, a few extra steps when it comes to building a sourcing team and establishing your Sourcing Hierarchy of Constraints & Criteria will go a long way in increasing the likelihood that your sourcing process will be successful.

Best of luck on your next sourcing project!
