Enterprise Performance Management - Data is First Priority

This week I came across an interesting report from a leading player in startegic sourcing and spend analysis - Zycus titled "Zycus path-to-procurement-excellence A CPO’s complete reference guide to sustainable performance improvement through strategic sourcing and procurement management ". A long name but a crisp document to guide you on practices and processes around strategic sourcing. An impressive work done by purchasing magazine and Zycus. It not only talks about the step by step process - a multi year one - to reach to startegic savings goal but also puts up process maturity maps to measure different factors at each step. I will recommend every consultant to surely read and learn from this.
